Does a ship's speed and maneuvering reduce its own gunnery accuracy?
Short answerIt can: a steady course helps both sides aim, while maneuvering complicates enemy fire at the cost of more calculation time and a slower firing cadence.
NotesA constant course and speed produce the simplest firing solution for a ship's own fire-control team. The same predictability also makes the ship easier for its opponent to hit. Maneuvering complicates both calculations. A ship can compensate by accepting a slower rate of fire and giving its gunnery crew more time to incorporate each change into the next solution.
