Are you talking in-game or IRL?

I'm no historian, but, the allies certinaly had Radar directed gun controll during WWII. However, the axis i'm sure, did not.

I don't wanna make like an 'arm chair expert' but it's fairly common knowlage that Washington hit Kirishima under 'blindfire' conditions at night using radar.

With no idea regarding your mods I'd hope that's not how the Japs were hitting you.

However, Sharnhorst hit Glorious at ~ 24km's visualy, so if there was a BB in your TF it's possible I s'pose. But for them to spot your tower at 12.6k's at night? Well... Maybe they just knew where to look, thanks to radar?
