Many real-life skippers, even the more successful ones, never sank a IJN capitol ship. It is just the nature of the business.

To be honest, I prefer it this way. If it were otherwise, the game would become a silly arcade game, and loose it's luster.

Yeah I agree with your last statement. There's something to be said about the excitement when you DO come across a proper task force. Guess this one just wasn't meant to be. They started zigging pretty much after I dived, and I was running at 1/3 2 knots. So they must've seen me while diving.

I knew they knew I was there for two reasons: One, the battleships could be seen to zig/zag from far out......and second, their signal lights on all ships had started blinking like the clappers rofl

I guess what I found frustrating was this was the first time I actually decided to continue on and penetrate the screen. usually if I'm detected, I slink down deep and start heading in the opposite direction, but this time something inside me told me to just keep heading straight for them......nearly paid off too, but of well!!
