October 44 off Luzon Island. I headed into this area after getting the radio message that an American task force was headed into the area and requesting available units to sweep the area. That evening I saw a large task force heading east and toward me on radar but the formation was in a line which I had only seen allied ships do so I stayed on the surface until I had eyes on one of the lead DD's, and it was a Fletcher class. Since it was friendly I stuck around to watch them pass before continuing north on my patrol.
The core of the task force was five North Carolina class BB's and a Tennessee class BB. Now I forgave them when on my last campaign I sank 5 Ise class battleships total when only two ever existed, but I never saw more than two in any one TF. But how can they put five North Carolina's in the same TF when there were only two built.
End of rant, Carry on.
PS: I am using an unmodified game.
