After several order changes, the updated command AI appears unable to connect ship types with their assigned tactical roles. Torpedo boats gather in the wrong places, screens fail to protect the intended units, and most craft never fire despite the visibility advantage. Damage recovery appears to have improved, but targeting and formation control have changed enough that the earlier campaign's tactics can no longer be assumed to work. Controlled one-on-one simulator battles are needed to discover what the update now prioritizes. This software behavior remains separate from the historical premise that fog can favor a close torpedo attack.

The update breaks expected fleet-command behavior
Changed targeting and formation behavior prevent ship types from carrying out assigned roles, prompting controlled simulator tests before the tactic is trusted.
