I have tried several times to "cross the T" - it requires very good understanding of both your ships and the enemy's, and the speed of all ships. Timing is critical. Often, I either am too far away to shoot, or collide with enemy ships. Trading broadsides often ends with both sides' ships sinking. Also, I am surprised that the turning radius of ships during the period of "Ironclads Anthology" was so large; it seems to take forever to maneuver.
One suggestion for your Ironclad game series: could you add a scale marker on the battle screen to show distance relative to the screen view (like Google Earth does when you zoom in or out)? That would be nice. And for those people who do not want it, map a key to turn it on and off.
