This s okay: your test proves that big guns are taking damage, as supposed

So ships change their tactic depending on the guns they have available. Cool, but you didn't answer my question: are you using IRAI during your tests?

Another statement along the lines of strategy, the Carl Peters Fleet Tender, (I put there because I was convinced it was a warship until a closer inspection  ) charges in and seems to not be attacked, and makes quite alot of damage because the other ships are after the Bismarck or Scharnhorst. |
Okay, maybe I am not the best strategist around, but leaving out the "Carl Peters accident", AI strategy makes sense to me

I found this when I was comparing heavy cruisers, the Kent beat the Hipper, because the Hipper would not use it's main guns, "Scandal, Corruption!"  I will call a re-match if that problem gets fixed. |
After having a look at her main gun's settings, I am quite sure that the Admiral Hipper was returning fire, but you couldn't notice it: those 4.1" german guns are missing their muzzle flash effect. Another oversight by devs that I hope to fix with the upcoming patch

The above remark by you prompted me to check Hood's main guns. Are you sure that it was firing at such an high rate?
Reload time of 15" Mk. I guns, fitted aboard the Hood, is set to 30 sec. This figure should be consistent with the expected rate of fire of ca. 2 rounds per min per muzzle
What crew ranking was the Hood given in your mission? Can you post that mission?
