The opposing game cruiser carries a large torpedo armament. The twenty-four-gun design tries to defeat it with sustained automatic 6-inch fire, bringing as many as twenty guns onto one bearing. Radar and high-quality fire control are expected to improve the result, although the number of hits still prompts complaints. A torpedo salvo passes clear and a later course change is intended to avoid another. The opponent is compared with a possible German large destroyer or small cruiser, but the comparison remains illustrative. The fight explores firing arcs and avoiding a torpedo solution, not a validated historical matchup.

Testing the automatic 6-inch cruiser against torpedoes
A large medium-calibre broadside is tested against a torpedo-heavy opponent while course changes protect the firing ship.
