Does the counterfactual also improve the commander's information?

A viewer asks whether the alternate battle also gives the commander better information.

Question

Does the commander receive more information in this version of Jutland?

Short answer

No. The scenario keeps other historical conditions unchanged except where the existing divergence alters them.

Notes

The scenario does not separately give the commander better information. Its existing divergence already produces substantial consequences, so other historical conditions remain in place unless they change because of that divergence. Better ammunition therefore does not automatically remove the uncertainty facing naval commanders.
