It makes you wonder why they have targeting computers at all.


Most sources indicate the Death Star utilized powerful sensor jammers, probably concomitantly with the field generators that reduced the actual maneuverability of starfighters inside the trench. Imperial targeting computers are probably much more accurate when dealing with targets outside DS-scale jamming fields. (Assuming the target isn't using their own effective ECM.)
