In this game engagement, firing from behind smoke reveals a ship that might otherwise stay concealed. Its gunfire is judged to be doing little useful damage, so the advice is to stop firing. Remaining under cover offers a better chance of survival in that position. The tactical choice depends on whether firing produces enough benefit to justify disclosing the ship's location.
