Description

It would be nice if long range units like berthas would cycle between the various shift-queue targeting locations. Right now it seems it will move to a location only if there is a valid target and it has been destroyed. I feel that it should move to the next targeting location regardless of whether any preexisting conditions are required. Perhaps an option to tweak this could be created in the settings menu for those who feel otherwise about the issue.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the shift queue targeting behavior for long range units and identify where the targeting location cycling is implemented. Consider adding a toggle option in the settings to control whether units cycle to next location regardless of target validity.
