It forces you to think about how to place them

Speaking of "dead" item it should even not attack automatically and only be controlled by a human. Just like in real life. This makes more sense.

Yep, agreed. That would be the better option. In the end, it is the matter of opinion to the devs. If they want the player(s) to suffer, then auto-shoot at any target is what it will be. In which case, think about strategies on how to use it. What is usually the issue with a lot of players (me included) until it is too late :)
