Downloaded and installed 2.0 today - I have to say I'm impressed. I especially like the new nav map.

However, I did notice something odd on a patrol out of Midway that's new to me. Got a radar contact on a small convoy heading WNW away from me just south of Hokkaido. As I turned to intercept, this radar contact disappeared and was replaced with a single contact about 1/3 the distance away as the original one. The contact seemed stationary. After I closed and submerged, I found this... (apologies for the darkness of the screens)

Image 2

A Zinbu Maru sitting on top of the water, its screw happily spinning away but going nowhere. Luckily, a couple shallow magnetic fish seemed to be enough to permanently disable its magic levitation powers.

This is the area it occured (the date was June 22, 1943): Image 3

I'm currently running the following mods -

TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2
TMO_Easier_AI
TMO_Alt_engineSounds
TMO_Aft_deckguns
TMO Airstrikes (just a minor AirStrike.cfg change to tone down aircraft)

Again, I've never seen this before in previous versions of TMO, so I don't know if it's a random fluke or something on my end, but just in case I thought I'd share it.
