Further to earlier post, I just had my first patrol well and truly ruined. Not sure if it's related to this.
Example of ship beyond the horizon that the Watch Officer can 'see'. By choosing "Turn off TDC", the red triangle appears and should point exactly to the ship. Alas, can you see one?
No, nor can I. Anyway, I set off in the direction of the ship, which I could also hear pretty clearly on the hydrophone (my 'sound guy' couldn't hear a thing and has never reported any ships though).
After a short time, the weather changed and became somewhat foggy. But on I continued, at TC 32 or 64 (nothing too high, knowing how the SH series have a habit of dropping you out of TC too late to avoid disaster).
On dropping back to 1x TC by myself, just to have a look around, I hear gunfire, explosions, cries from the crew, and this is what I am faced with:
I crash dived, but hull integrity was already down to 28% and flooding became uncontrollable. Knowing the end was near, I clicked the Obs scope to see what was happening with the DD & consider a last-ditch torpedo shot, but on doing so got a crash to desktop... great (it was my first though). Even whilst submerged, the sonarman didn't report the DD at all. Equal opportunities are all well and good, but employing a deaf person for that role was a silly idea.
So, either:
1) The zero morale bug prevented my crew from doing anything (except the WO spotting a ship that was beyond visual range, of course), or;
2) Since the WO saw the ship from 30km or more, he didn't bother pointing out the same ship when it approached out of the fog and got within 100m...
Whichever it is, I've lost a lot of game time since an autosave kicked in just after the DD hammered me, and my last manual save is a way back. *sigh*
Finally, another one for the "to be fixed" list:
drawings on map are not saved! Every time I reload the game, all my drawings (made with the ruler, protractor, compass etc.) are gone. Not good
