what i described has happened...more than once. during a day attack as well as night attacks.

however, these occasions occurred during attacks on convoys/TF, not single ships. And...typically it is not the initial attack but a follow-up attack that draws the intense gunfire from being close aboard a ship that can fire weapons.

the FOTRSU warships are fierce, especially the DD/DE's. Once you are detected, if they are not firing their deck weapons, then they are launching frickn torpedoes at me. it is downright unhealthy for a Kaleun and his valiant crew. which is fine...okay...because we are making it frickn unhealthy for them also.

just saying.....don't go trying to set up a 600 yd shot on a major combatant in the middle of a TF line at any time of day or night.
