That's the problem with simple pre-programmed routines rather than actual collision-avoidance AI.

Perhaps I overstated how crude the damage modeling is for ships. What was trying to say is that IL2 vastly simplifies ship damage compared to reality, or even compared to damage models for planes.

You can currently get slowing, listing and oil slicks if a ship is damaged, and certainly individual guns can be knocked out, but other elements of ship damage aren't included.

IL2 will never be a ship sim, but it's possible that some additional aspects of damage, such as fire spread or secondary explosions might be included in the future.
