thats a complete different situation
If you shoot someone with a gun, they will get hurt
no matter what
To add on:
If you say fight someone, you cannot decide how it turns out.
If you send a scud, you cannot decide if SAMs shoot it.
If you have a tank, you can decide who you shoot, but you have to accept that I can SMAW you
If two ships battle, you can't decide to say, "I put a huge hole in your ship and sink it." It will be nice to be sensible, on either side, to let the person say, "I shoot your ship with something!" and the victim can say, "Defensive Maneuvers go alert," or, "The Hull is breached."
Non-Scewering you Fleet tip: Don't make a stuffload of ships and place 20 500 something large-canister-shell guns.
