This. I had a battle this evening where I was fixated with my St. Louis on an, IIRC, South Carolina, and I noticed that I was taking fire outside of the BB's shots. Backing out of binox view, there was a Tenryu that had grounded on a nearby island shooting at me; I put two broadsides into him and he went down, and I returned to the BB; we traded shots as I circled an island, mostly dodging his fire, until friendly ships came up and helped finish him off for the win. Take a look around, particularly when your shells have a longer flight time; the hull you save may be your own.

The ship contours (Major Renegade's V6 in my case) cause the minimap to go blank. The Krab V3 crosshairs are working for me, as are Atmaxx's colored tracers, the extra zoom camera mod, and the Tracks_Destroyer OTM. I turned off all of the 'various mods'; I'd seen a posting suggesting that the damage and in-battle clock mod was locking things; my original selection had the Fog Remover, Clear Vision, More visible torpedoes and splash hits, and the damage and in-battle clock, and with these selected, the client locked at the battle loading screen; after I deselected them, I got the blank minimap from the ship contours. None of the other mods I'd selected appear to have been problematic.
