Sorry! You haven't convinced me.

In the unlikely event of war ships coming close together durring combat, as in the case of the Sydney and the Kormoran, I would expect the combatants would use any and every means at their disposal to inflict damage on the enemy.

Yes the Kormoran was a auxillary cruiser, but her capitan Theodor Detmers (recipient of the knights Cross) had been serving in the German navy since 1922 and would have had a better knowledge of naval strategy and tactics than either of you or me.

Apparently the action he took was to suppress the Sydney's use of it's secondary armament ie it's smaller calibre guns, torpedo launchers and it's AA weapons.

Now unfortunately we don't have smaller war vessels like torpedo boats, MTB, E-boats and the like , but when we do, I wouldn't want an artificial restriction emplaced upon the AI not to use their smaller calibre guns upon this threat!

Cheers
