I don't think you understood my remark here. Think about the following 
(rather artificial) example: 

Assume a target ship with 16 hull boxes, equally distributed. Target 
and shooting ship are stationary, but target can turn. Whenever a side 
gets 3 hits, target turns 90 degrees. First threshold check occurs after
12 
hits. Under present rules, it happens after 4 hits.

Even if this is an artificial example, I would think that there is 
scope in a normal game for distributing hits over all sides and thus 
delaying threshold checks.
