Finally found a way to get ships to act somewhat more realistic in surface engagement
Thought I had added the Battle of Komandorski Islands(the last day light surface engagement in history that did not involve aircraft or submarines) in my TMO Update but turns out I did not. I have recreated it. Also, after browsing SH 3 forums got an idea. In the Sim.cfg I upped the max firing range for AI guns(big guns) to 31000 meters or nearly 17 nautical miles and increased max error in the firing angle. Result, in daylight the cruisers engaged one another at about 14000 yards, which is pretty decent instead of the absurdly close range would only fire at before. The battles are more realistic as not such sniper like gunfire, forces dont wipe one another out immediately. The Battle lasted about four hours and had an outcome on pair with history...except the US side lost one DD. Was pretty cool to watch it unfold actually.
Tested Savo Island, of course night time ranges will be less typically , and that battle ships were practically at point blank range at times, so is scripted as such but believe after initial contact with southern group, when IJN ran into the Northern group , opened fired on them at longer ranges (in the sim) and they closed one another .
Have not tested battleships yet. Would be interesting if can get them to fire at the longer ranges.
Tested with player sub make sure escorts were not firing from crazy ranges and did not, after all they have see your sub fire and difficult at such range to spot a sub.
