What do these fire lines mean?

[justwanttoseepics]

Is there a legend for the different fire lines anywhere? I was thinking red would be a ship's main battery target but that doesn't seem to line up with what's happening in game.

[lumpy]

I think the blue lines mean outgoing targeting, i.e. your ships firing on another one, the red lines indicate which enemy ships are firing upon your's, and the yellow lines indicate your own vessel's secondary batteries' targeting. As I said, don't quote me on that, though, I am not entirely sure either.

I'm sure the red is primary battery and yellow is secondary. Unsure about blue.

Could blue be tertiaries or torps?

I think blue represents incoming fire.

This seems to be the case. It's definitely not tertiary fire because it appears even when ships are only at main battery range.

Red: Where your officers want to shoot.
Yellow: Where the seamen aim.
Blue: Where the guns really Fire at.

I think it's:

Red - main battery firing
Yellow - secondary battery firing
Blue - targeted but not in position to open fire (turret in transit)

There's that really good word doc that has many of the misc details, I think complied from forums posts by the devs. I can't seem to find it.

Red - Main Guns
Yellow - Secondary
Blue - Incoming

That’s unlikely for the blue lines. Ships only have one main battery target at a time, so why would we have instances where a single ship has several blue lines?

The red line indicates the targets for the main guns of the ships in the selected division.

The yellow lines indicate the targets for any secondary guns. There are typically two of these, one for starboard secondaries and one for the port secondaries.  In the first image below you can see that BB Attilio is firing its secondaries at an "Unidentified ship" and a "TR medium".  This is shown in the details screen for the BB and on the map as yellow dashed lines. The main guns are targeting a "TR Medium Merchant-class".  In the small inset image you can see a six strong destroyer division firing their main guns at two enemy destroyers. 

The blue lines show enemy ships firing at your selected division. It is not unusual (but decidedly unpleasant) to see a dozen blue lines converging on your flagship. The second image below shows a destroyer division making a run at the enemy battle line and under fire from 23 different enemy ships.
