USS Texas and gunnery from a heavily heeled ship

A damaged ship firing from an extreme heel prompts a brief comparison with USS Texas and the limits of realistic gunnery.

Notes

A damaged German ship in the simulation continues firing while heeled at an extreme angle. USS Texas is invoked as the historical comparison that makes such a case memorable, precisely because firing from a severe heel is exceptional. No details of the Texas episode are supplied; the comparison serves only to question the game's realism. A ship damaged badly enough to lean that far would not normally keep its guns in effective action.
