I've seen the proposed rule change of upping DDs to hit number (THN) from 9 to 10. Though I think improving DDs' survivabikity is required, I guess I'll rather try out another option next game, as IMO, a 10 THN will make DD actions knife fights to take advantage of the 20" rule, and negate the range advantage of better guns.
- Since most DD actions took place at night, decrease to 10" the 20" range for improved aim (under 12" bore) when firing at ships under 20 hull points.
- Reduce by 1 the bonus to hit ships underr 20 hull points.
In effect, you'll have the same tHNs when in knife fighting range, but better ranged guns will have a spot where they hit more easily with reasonable chances than shorter ranged one.
