When I play SH 5 i find it rare that my crew even tells me that a ship has been spotted.. I can sail on the ocean, put up game speed to like 512 and all of the sudden die because some destroyer 3-shot me!!!
What's up with that? and i didn't have the travel mode on , if you are wondering..
Do I as the captain have to stand on the bride before i will be able to spot anything while surfaced perhaps?
