Naval Battles - Has anyone succeeded in getting ships to shoot each other?

[TheStig]

I'm working on a single mission for Leyte Gulf (basically the Battle off Samar).

I've managed to get destroyers to shoot at IJN warships but not vice versa.  Also when the destroyers fire their 5 inch guns, they fall significantly short of the ship.  How do I fix this, and get the IJN ships to fire back?

 

Thanks!

That the guns of the ships shoot to short has to do, that the game engine cant handle indirect fire. So a target can only be hit in the distance of direct fire. The same problem is with tanks of artillery in game. You cant change it.

Good to know.  Thanks!
