MINES!! Of course!! I hadn't thought of that.

That might, or might not, explain today's death, too. I was just outside Tokyo Bay making my way south at night on the surface to Area 5 when radar reported a contact. I went to flank speed to investigate and found two destroyers shooting at me out of the dark. How they saw me when I couldn't see anything at all is beyond me. Lots of carrots in the Japanese diet maybe (did they have radar in June '43?).

I was busy evading later when there was a pause in the depth charges and suddenly, with no DCs going off, everything just suddenly went to hell.

The funny thing was, it all caved in well after an explosion, as though the hull was weakened and then imploded after a delayed response of some kind. Not what I was expecting, and it did rather piss me off as it didn't sound like they were that close. Oh, well, that's what experience is all about!

I think I now understand the game of golf. Lots of disappointments punctuated by an awesome achievement every so often after a particularly successful attach - enough to keep you coming back looking for that high again.

Thanks for the tip on the mod and the ".". I'll try that next time I play.

Cheers!
