I'm running

REL_TriggerMaru_Overhaul
RSRDC_TMOv14_V370
diverate
Natural Sinking Mechanics 3.3 Classic
NSM3.3_hardcore_torpedo_mod

I found an unescorted shokaku in the Bungo Suido (found it right between the Bungo and Suido text on the map) in mid January 44. It was zig-zagging (constant helming) and going between 10-15 knots. Is something funky going on with my install where the carrier was unescorted? Or did I luck out finding this sucker unescorted near a harbor?

Incidentally, I put 7 torpedoes into her from about 700 yards. She rolled until half the deck was underwater and continued on at about 3 knots for another 2-3 hours. I was out of torpedoes and no other Japanese were in the area so I surfaced and plugged her with the deck gun for about 30 minutes until she sank (you'd think someone would have come to help the carrier, but I wasn't going to ask questions

). Got the hell out of dodge and back home with my first capital ship sunk ever. I wasn't about to let that one get away even if I had to ram it.
