There was a break in the Siren lines, this was their one chance to escape.

"Blow smoke! Cover us until we can escape!" Captain Lindemann shouted,

"Aye Captain!"

Fuel oil was injected directly into the funnel, making it evaporate in the hot gases, producing a huge cloud of acrid black smoke.

It created a huge smokescreen, which helped to disguise the ship visually,

Unfortunately, the smoke would blow around and get in the way of gunsights, making it much harder to actually aim at your intended targets,

But shooting wasn't the priority at the current moment, escape was.

Surprisingly, they didn't seem to give chase.

POV, Observer & Tester

"They are putting oil into their own exhaust.. to create what I assume to be a smokescreen." Observer said.

"I have to admit, I have never seen such a tactic be used, even in universe #8261, where they still used steel hulled ships, they used actual generators to create a smokescreen." Tester said,

"Either they are desperate, or they are trying some tactic we haven't seen before." Observer said,

"Well, their technology level is extremely crude in comparison to their surroundings. Maybe they don't have access to such devices..." Tester said,

"No access to a smoke generator?" Observer said,

She chuckled a little, quite a rare occurrence.

"It's so cute to see them fight with technology so primitive." Observer said,

"But these ships that we are using are geared past what most all shipgirls up to this point were able to handle. They are approximately fifty levels above what fully limit broken shipgirls were able to achieve, yet they are destroyed with a single shot." Tester said,

"Perhaps they invested their efforts into making advanced weapon systems rather than making "computers"" Observer said,

A siren battleship (unit B5275) was hit directly by a shell from the battleship, the projectile seemed to run straight through the metal skin of the ship, and then there was a massive explosion, and the whole front of the vessel was turned into a mangled mess.
