Why do people never even bother checking before making unsubstantiated statements?
From Campbell:
"The German destroyer flotillas were to carry out night attacks, but fortunately for the British the position of their battlefleet was not known, so that the flotillas had to be spread between 55° and 190°. There were defects in the plan adopted, and no success was obtained. Scheer had told Commodore Heinrich in the Regensburg as early as 1916 that his three flotillas were to attack during the night, and at 2000 both Heinrich and the Senior Leader of Destroyers, Commodore Michelsen, in the Rostock, were ordered by Scheer to direct all flotillas to attack.
Heinrich had available the ten destroyers of the 2nd Flotilla which had only fired one torpedo with two damaged, so that they had 57 left, and three destroyers of the 12th Half-Flotilla with 15 torpedoes. In order to obtain a view, less obscured by haze and smoke, the Regensburg turned back with these destroyers at c2010 and made for a position northward of the German rear, and not far from where the Indefatigable had sunk, wreckage being noted by the B9 7 and G103. The 2nd Flotilla were to attack in the sector 55° to 100° and, if it appeared inadvisable to return via the German Bight, were to make for Kiel round the Skaw. The next sector, 100° to 122°, was allotted to the 12th Half-Flotilla.
Just after the destroyers had been given their orders, and 14 minutes before they were finally detached at 2030, a signal was received from Scheer, that the Rostock was to conduct all attacks. Heinrich had foreseen this, and had therefore confined his flotillas to the tactically less favourable northern sectors to avoid obstructing Michelsen. This meant that the most promising sectors would be given to the coal-fired destroyers of the 5th and 7th Flotillas. Heinrich notified Scheer and Michelsen of the orders issued, and Michelsen then informed Scheer that Heinrich would direct the attacks of his flotillas independently.
...
Michelsen thought that the British would probably steam southward under the Jutland coast during the night and assigned the sector 122° to 156° to the 7th Flotilla, and 156° to 190° to the 5th. Owing to Michelsen's and Heinrich's flotillas being detached from different positions, there was however a gap between the 122° boundaries of the sectors of the 12th Half-Flotilla and 7th Flotilla. The 5th Flotilla proceeded generally 173° after they were detached, and should have begun to search their sector at 2230, but they were delayed 30 minutes by having to pass twice through the German line, and also by smoke interfering with visual signals. The 7th Flotilla which were steering 139° passed through the line of the 3rd Squadron at about 2125, and 3 minutes or so later the S23 was briefly lit up by SL and fired at. Recognition signals stopped further firing, and the 7th Flotilla altered course to 122° to get further away from the German Fleet, and proceeded in close order at 17kts.
There were thus no German destroyers in the sector between 122° and 173°, where the British battleships were to be found."
This was due to the HSF not knowing where the GF was, have them know and you can have several, not all, of their flotillas find them and attack at night... then you will have your disaster. Just go and read page three of this same thread, you will get the idea.
Regarding RN DDs, they were a disaster an utter failure, they had the whole HSF SAIL THROUGH THEM AND FAILED TO HIT, just a pre-dread got a hit and sank, the rest were swept away by the BBs themselves which sank several RN DDs. They simply went over them like a hot knife through butter.
