Ouch! Is it a common thing for TMO crews that they can't spot enemy warships in time ?
I was traveling under 512x time compression because dawn was already breaking. Wind speeds 9(m/s?), no clouds, no fog. All of the sudden I get the 'we're under attack' message and our ship is taking damage. So I ran onto the brigde and see two small japanese destroyers closing in (Wakake). At maybe a handful of thousand yards. Still, when I asked my crew nobody was able to see them at first. Really weird.
I eventually managed to escape but my question would be whether I should expect more of such unpleasant and strange surprises. Again, visibility was just fine and my crew couldn't spot anything until they fired at us several times. The deck watch bar in the crew management screen is filled with green, nobody was really tired or anything.
Thanks, i.
