The simulated Tiger uses her speed advantage to keep the German battlecruiser at the range she prefers. That is the tactical payoff of propulsion: speed can control the geometry of an engagement as well as provide a means of escape. The model carries 14-inch guns because the game does not reproduce Tiger's 13.5-inch battery accurately. The engagement illustrates battlecruiser range control while keeping the simulation's weapon limits explicit.

Speed lets a battlecruiser choose the range
Tiger's superior speed is used to hold the simulated German opponent at a range suited to her heavier main battery.
