try adding this order to enemy groups.
Order1.2 = ATTACK,1,DEFAULT,GROUP
instead of blithely staying on course and allowing me to lob dozens of torps at them the enemy formation proactively reacts to my presence as soon as i am detected. they change course head towards and open fire without waiting for ME to attack.
in this case the "1" referred to my group of dd.
in the case of multiple friendly formations try
Order1.2 = ATTACK,1,2,3,4,DEFAULT,GROUP
presumably the ai will attack whichever is nearby.
as far as the enemy focusing its gunfire - enemy formations tend to target whoever shot them first. doesnt matter if its a pt boat or a bb.
nor does it matter if your in a pt boat and they are getting destroyed by a bb ! (great threat assessment ai huh ? ) as long as you shot them before your friendly bb, odds are YOU will be target.
a dum dc trick in general is to send a controlled ship in to draw fire have it race off out of range and then you attack with the rest of your forces while the enemy is still busy firing at a distant target.
LIMITED, RECON, STEALTHY,UNLIMITED
DESTROY, HARASS, HIT_AND_RUN, REPULSE, SHADOW
some of those may help as well...
