The modern ship turns across the German formation's T while the older ships try to close into 13-inch range. Their AI avoids rushing into the centre, but Duke of York stays near the edge of their main-battery envelope while remaining inside its own 5.3-inch range. It can keep firing without surrendering the distance advantage. Technology pays off here because manoeuvre and range discipline preserve the conditions in which the newer guns work best.
