Is anyone experiencing issues where their destroyers are allergic to firing torpedoes? I'm in 1940 fighting Germany and I have an encounter where they have a single 135,000 ton battleship that I would very much like to relive them of. However my destroyers will never fire a single torpedo. I have tried setting the torpedo usage to be aggressive and even 6km away (torpedo range is 11 km) they target the battleship but never fire a torpedo. This is a recent phenomenon and since that bad boy does have a gunnery advantage against my current ships I do want to be able to use my destroyers to hobble it a bit. Any ideas on what I can do?

I am noticing that my ships do not like to fire their guns if a friendly is between them and their target. While I appreciate my screen ships actually trying to intercept incoming ships, once they come between my battle line ships and the enemy the battle line ships stop firing. The proximity of my screen/scout ships to my battle line or the enemy does not seem to make a difference. Once they are in the sight line my ships stop firing and do not even try to retarget an enemy ship with no friendlies in between. It is a bit frustrating to have my heaviest guns doing nothing throughout much of the battle. As a possible enhancement for a future update, it would be nice if I could target specific ports when increasing capacity instead of upgrading all ports. This would allow me to upgrade where I want to increase my power projection without spending funds in areas where I feel I have enough capacity.
