All I can find is the configuration dates might be an issue.
Your boat would have been about 25+ kilometers away when you did the external cam. Might be an issue, I dunno, though the terrain would be missing. September 1st (start of the layer) to December 13th, 1941 is about 104 days. TT1 is set to spawn-attempt every 900 hours at a 95% rate. That would be every 37.5 days, or 2.777 times in that time period = it is clear that there are four ships there. TT2 is set to spawn-attempt at the same 900 hours figure, but at a 90% rate. Again, assuming all attempts are successful, about 2.777 ships. Again, with this ship, it's easy to see that there are four of them... So lets say the game is supposed to maybe attempt to generate three of them. However, they are supposed to be limited to "1 Max Group Instance Created" (for the duration of the 43a layer), and each RGG is set to "1 Max Number Of Units In Random Group Instance". It does not make sense that there are multiples of each. One thing that is off in the configuration, is that the Yamato Class did not exist until 19411216, but they both have configuration dates (Units Version Date) in the Define Group Contents page of January of 1940. Maybe that contributes. Dunno. But this is the first layer with the vessels, so it's not any left-overs from earlier RGG...
So I edited the 43a_Jap_HarborTraffic.mis file for configuration dates of 19430601 for each of the BB, and made me a couple of SingleMissions to check for spawning issues. First up is October 1st, 1943:
Yamato in foreground, Musashi in the distance - one each
then on December 12, 1943:
Same two ships as above, and both still just one each.
It took 23 shots to get to this:
I lost count of the duds, but like seven or eight... and that is about all the deeper it will sink in those waters. My boat was at 54 foot depth, 12 foot below the keep. No other ships in the immediate area, but there is a patrol vessel out there somewhere, and ~airplanes~, hence going in as it was getting dark... We'll add the change to this next version, in case that was the trouble...
