Was this ever fixed? I am experiencing this problem when attacking stations. For some reason, despite having my turrets set to "Attack Capital ships" there are cases when they do not fire even in range until they get hit.
[3.30 release] L turrets on capital ships can only do "Defend"

If this is against Xenon stations then my observations so far are that the turret aiming logic thinks that the curved Xenon Defence Module cannot be shot/hit from some angles despite it clearly being able to. Specifically it seems to check if the internal part of the module can be shot, and not the outside curve that protects it. Landing hits anywhere on the module surface correctly counts for damage, but it seems that turrets do not think so.
I observed this with my Raptor where L Plasma Turrets refused to fire from some approaches. As I flew over they eventually started firing. That was when I noticed that they had finally obtained significant line of site with the inner part of the curved Xenon defence module.
