Sea-Battles - ships don't fire back

[Cfant]

Posting it here too, because it seems to be a problem in all scenarios:

Hi!

Just tested the 1914-1918 scenario. Both Germany and Britain have modern BBs with Range 3. So I looked what happens, when a counter comes into range of another one with the same range.

Played it a few times.

Always the same happened:

Counter Britain (4 BBs Range 3) comes into range of Counter Germany (5 BBs Range 3, 5 Battlecruisers Range 2). Germany fires and sinks all of Counter Britain. Even Britains Range 3 BBs didn't shoot back.

next try:

Counter Germany comes into Range of Counter Britain. Counter Britain fires and sinks all german ships. The 5 german Range-3-BBs don't even fire back.

So in the end, we have a problem: There are NO sea battles. Just sea-slaughters. He who comes into range of an enemy is lost. It's ok that the other counter has the first shot, but then it should be a fight.

By the way, tested British Range 3 BBs attacking german coastal fortresses (Range 3): Brits come into range, fortress fires, damages the Brits (not very much though). Ok so far. Now I open the attack planer and the Brits open fire on the fortress. The fortress is destroyed every time (ok, why not) but doesn't fire back.

Bug, I say! [:-] Is it the same in other scenarios?

In other scenarios is the same

Ähm... is this wanted? A feature or a bug? I mean - wouldn't the Royal Navy fire back if attacked? Outside tea-time, I mean.[:'(]

I'm playing PAW with Jorge and I haven't noticed any problems yet. But I
believe you when you say you are having problems. Maybe post a saved game
file?

See the advice in this thread:

Hm, can you change it in an ongoing scenario?

Thanks. Good to know there is a solution!

We haven't yet had any ship to ship battles though. There have always been aircraft involved.
