wise words, my friend

I wouldn't be surprised if Rongel himself popped up and complained about this feature

Nonetheless, we must admit that enemy ships firing at us from very long ranges, doesn't make much sense either

It may depende on their guns. Historical armament was:

Early ships:
• 4 × 5"/38 caliber guns
• 4 × twin 40 mm gun mounts
• 4 × twin 20 mm gun mounts

Late war ships (from August 1943 on):
• 1 × 5"/38 caliber gun
• 4 × 3"/50 caliber guns
• 4 × twin 40 mm gun mounts
• 4 × twin 20 mm gun mounts

in game we have:

• 2 x 4"/50 caliber guns (from June '41)
• 2 x quad 2-pdr "pop-pom" guns (from Feb '40)
• 4 × twin 40 mm gun mounts (from Feb '40)
• 4 × twin 20 mm gun mounts

Not exactly the same but still dangerous

Those pesky escorts are just as dangerous.... no mater what the range is. If they spot you you can end up being toast.
