Looks like they have deliberately removed another feature yet again this week, claiming that it wasn’t a bug on the forum. I’ve used this for years and it was a nice addition to realism and it helped improve turning performance of ships. It was great in confined waters to throw the port and starboard engines in opposite directions; if you had enough time around some islands, some ships you could even pivot it enough to bring different guns to bear. What possible reason would they have for this removal? Bring it back.

It’s a bit of a bummer imho, first the towing an now this…
While I didn’t use it to the extent you’ve mentioned (which come to think of it’s a smart idea), I only ever used it when the steering gear was knocked out & went full USS Marblehead CL-12 in such cases (a famous Omaha class cruiser that traversed the world with engine changing power to turn).
