Using destroyers to create a torpedo threat

After taking control from the simulation AI, the destroyers head toward torpedo range, lay smoke, and change bearing to make German fire control harder. Destroyers have to close before their torpedoes matter, but their approach also diverts attention from the British battleships coming up behind them. The German ships focus on the smoke-covered destroyers while British battleships, armed with torpedoes and strong secondary batteries in this game scenario, close the range. A more realistic British response to two German battleships would probably include another capital ship or an aircraft carrier and a full destroyer flotilla. The torpedo attack shapes German choices before any torpedo hits, especially while smoke conceals the destroyers and heavier ships close at the same time.
