By way of experimentation I tried this in GWX the other night. Even though I got the DD burning like Guy Fawkes, he eventually knocked off my gun crew and within seconds after that, perforated my hull so badly that I got the Abandon Career screen. So I don't think I'll be doing that again when it really matters. I can't imagine many real Kaleuns doing it either.
Now an armed trawler maybe, as long as I've got a good early bead on it...
