After sinking a Light Cruiser Tenryu class, we went deep (300 feet), silent running and about one knot of speed to avoid the escorts. after some time and distance from the pinging of escorts, came to periscope depth to have a look around. A ship was spotted and after locking the ship in the periscope view, I went to map (F5) to mark the location of the ship. Instead of a black dot on the map, I thought I had took a step back in time when I saw the red silhouette of a ship on the map.

A screenshot of the location.

 


And here is another one.

 


Just thought this was odd.

The convey consisted of four warships and three merchants, leading was a DE Wakatake Class warship followed by a Medium Heavy Load Freighter, third was a Small Passenger Carrier. The next was the ship that the USS Trout sunk, a Light Cruiser Tenryu Class followed by a Medium Cooler. Bring up the rear was a DE Kaibokan Class and a Corvette Subchaser Class warships. All the ships were in a single file with the lead warship 'helming' ( I think this is what it is called) as it approached the USS Trout.

Weather was clear skies, light fog and winds at eight causing waves to come across the bow which helped the submarine go undedected.

Larry, that first image you posted doesn't show (the message in its place says...."image not found or was removed")?

So, you state....."Instead of a black dot on the map, ……... I saw the red silhouette of a ship on the map."

Was it on all of the ships in the convoy?
Just one of them? Which one?

An image is worth a "thousand words". In this case we don't have one.

============

This is your game setup regarding Ultimate?

-100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate v0.71_PublicBeta_EN
-Bigger Better Protractors

I'll have to look, but I thought the v0.71 has the "Bigger Better Protractors" by White Owl incorporated in it? I received his gracious permission to add it a few months ago, and I though I had it for the v0.71? If not, it certainly will be in the next v0.72 since so many players use it.
