The rematch produces more consistent hits and better protection against incoming fire. Secondary-gun hits are interpreted as confirmation that usable ranging information is available. The opposing ship's large battery remains dangerous, reinforcing the objection to choosing an even one-on-one fight. The eventual result favors the revised British game design. That result belongs to the corrected simulation setup and does not prove the real performance of either imagined ship.

What changes in the battleship rematch
The rematch links effective ranging and armor with the decision to seek an advantage in force rather than a single-ship duel.
