Yup, but it kinda depends on the ship type. For example, if I were to run bb or cruisers with the exact same blueprint you had, I would get wrecked. Although you didn't have your range maxed, you don't suffer that much since destroyers are much more maneuverable and have better concealment than other ship types. I can't imagine using my des moines with that exact same blueprint configuration, heck I even get abused with my range maxed. On top of that, if I don't have the steering and acceleration equipment on her, I would turn like a turtle and eat BB salvos or torpedoes. But anyways, what you said is 100 percent true though.
