AI & Target locking does not trigger custom turret controller
Solved
I've noticed that block turrets will attempt to fire at the AI offensive block's target if in range, but custom turrets do not respond even though they should all be in range of the target. Changing the turret controller's settings or manually clicking on 'focus locked target' doesn't work either.
The same issue seems to be present with player target locking where CTC's does not fire at the locked target even when the focus button is pressed.
I have the same bug
For me the custom turrets only shoot AI targetted blocks if there also other normal turrets on the grid.
I've tested this bug extensively and it seems to be a problem with the "Focus locked target" not working for the custom turret block unless there are normal turrets (artillery, assault turret...) also focusing that target.
For example I made an assault cannon custom turret (range 1400m) and is able to shoot enemies to that range if I also have an artillery turret on my grid, and I choose the "Focus locked target" option even for this artillery turret only, it seems to "activate" the custom turret block too.

I'm having the same issue, Focus Locked Target/Target Locking seems to do nothing for custom turret controllers unless there's also a normal turret on the grid, and it seems to be limited by the range of that turret.
For example a custom turret with Assault Cannons cannot lock/focus target at it's max range of 1400m unless there's an Assault Turret on the grid with the same range. Placing an Autocannon Turret on the grid makes that same custom turret able to target lock at only 800m. (The normal turret didn't need to be shooting for even able to see the target to get this effect for me.)
However if a longer range turret was placed on that grid previously and the custom turret fired it seemed to retain it's ability for the custom turret to target at that range, even if moving back out of and into range of the target and relocking.
