You're telling us that a weapon isn't going to be used because it's "inappropriate" in any situation??
I'm telling you in real life warfare, any and all weapons WILL be used at the discretion of the combatants.....this wasn't a "game"! No more than thinking in hand-to-hand combat you wouldn't bite a man's ear off if that helped in dispatching him!
The ability to fire ANY weapon at your disposal is not only appropriate in battle, but essential to the outcome. The idea was not to die for your country, but to make the other guy die for his. Having another type of weapon in-game should not cause concern, except for those that are unprepared to face it. In real life, you faced the possibility of being torpedoed from the enemy or from your own misdirected torpedo.

This is the last I’ll say in this matter as it is clear your mind is already made up. The question isn’t whether they could be used but whether they were. The answer to the question is that they weren’t. No amount of circular logic will change that fact. If this is the way you want to play your game, wonderful. Enjoy it. No need to try and pass it off as realistic, though.
