Ammo usage bug?

[Miller]

Played quite a few turns against the AI with some BIG (hour long!) naval battles.

I have noticed however that nearly every ship that survives these battles never seems use any ammo for its rear facing turrets e.g all BB's have zero ammo left for front/central mounted turrets, but ammo for rear is still reading 9.

Same applies to most CA/CL/DD. Often several turns occur at the same distance, hence fleets steaming parallel to eachother which means all guns can be brought to bear...

Something to look at perhaps?

I've had a battle where rear-facing turret ammo was used, apparently by a cruiser that was fleeing from an overwhelming force.

It depends. If the enemy crossed the T, the fleet who is being crossed can only fire from forward guns. Full broadsides only happen if both fleets are parallel. Bow guns will usually fire more than others.
