You can answer that too! In real life they didn't have a recognition manual with every single target that you could ever sight. They were lucky if half the targets they saw were in the manual. The US Navy did not have the ability to rent the entire Japanese naval and merchant fleets, take 'em to Pearl and measure them six ways to Sunday to produce a perfect manual. The ONI manual wasn't anywhere near correct. It's errors were not identical to ours, but ours is still dozens of times better than the real subs had.

When you check out claimed tonnage against actual, established after the war with Japanese records, you find that target after target was misidentified, often with the submarine claiming twice as much tonnage as reality. Almost alone was poor Joe Enright, who was given only a fraction of the true tonnage of Shinano. Everyone else didn't have a clue what they were shooting at.

But we demand perfect knowledge and perfect results. Then we claim we're still playing a simulation. Hell, we're a lot better sub captain than Dick O'Kane, look at his lousy tonnage score for his career compared to our last cruise. We're just darned good, that's all!:har:

Bullschnitzel! We're a bunch of cheaters, unwilling to put up with reality or a reasonable facsimile of. A 30,000 ton cruise should be the cruise of a lifetime, never to be repeated. Instead that's a disappointing low point.

We DON'T NEED any Ship Centered Accuracy Fix, fixed masthead heights, improved recognition manuals, etc. If anything we should further trash the tools we have to make them less productive. Here I am yesterday, checking out Webster's ship physics mod (targets' behavior was much better, by the way. I'm enjoying the heck out of it!) without any of the above "fixes" making me even more deadeye than I am. My boat? The Starship Freakin' Enterprise!

I just outsunk the entire US submarine force's production for this week in the last hour, I'm surrounded by escorts and the only thing I'm worried about is running out of torpedoes! Yeah, like I need help hitting targets here...
