Can confirm this happens. I suspect it has something to do with the guns/torps not turning as fast as your ship and that causes them to switch between rdy to fire and aiming really fast. Not long enough in firing mode to acutally fire but not long enough aiming eighter so you won't see the orange indicator for it. That can ruin your match if things get a little close and milliseconds matter and there is just too much stuff going on that you don't have time to look for what is going on with your damn weapons not firing. I guess a 1-2° margin on the fire activation might help out there.

I don't know why everybody is opposing the idea of being able to chat in the after game screen so hard. Even in LoL, with undoubtedly one of most childish and toxic communities (at least at lower elos) there is that feature and it's rarely happening that players start to flame others at then end of the game if they didn't already while playing. I mean, if there was toxic behavior in the game there will be afterwards and if it was a cheerful atmosphere there will be one when the game ends. Maybe you want to congratulate the enemy team on their winning blow.

You can zoom out in the Binocular view which will bring your view down to about the gun level. That should fix your problem I think.

I encountered a problem with the fire timer and the taken damage seeming out of sync. The situation was as followed: I was getting HE spammed by an enemy cruiser in my BB and due to his constant angling I managed to get out of his range. The remaining cool down of my damage control party was high, in contrast to my HP but luckily also the remaining fire timer. The timer ran out, my HP were at 207, the fire animation had stopped and the game said Fire Out (or whatever the exact message is). The about 1-1.5 seconds later i got sunk. I'm 99.9 % sure it was no other shell/torp hitting me so it must have be a delayed fire tick. Very frustrating, please fix. Thanks.
