Hi!

I did a few tests today. A Revenge (or was it KGV?) attacking from the West, 13km away a few Flottenbegleiters and a Type 34, with me observing to the south.

Both these groups were organised as task forces.

My AI_Visual range is 12km.

First, indeed my deck gun crew engaged friendly units with aplomb until I told them to cease fire. Was rather angry at them.

The surface ships engaged each other at 12km.

Except - the main 4 turret gun (on the kgv class I think, on the front, don't know the inches - but its the biggie), on the British BB didn't start firing until German units closed to 4km. All secondary armament was firing away at 12km. This must be a bug in the definition of the guns themselves...

Also, I have played several campaigns and I get friendly/enemy taskforces reported by my radio operator as normal. I can only conclude that the bug reported by cdr gibs regarding enemy taskforces not engaging is a misreading or was caused by some other problem.

As for the friendly fire, it doesn't bother me unduly. You just have to keep an eye on what your crew is doing.
