I'm pretty sure you are correct Sir : ) - especially if the problem is universal to all installs of TMO 2.5.

OK
Laffertytig, I have an answer. Sofu Gan is not misplaced, btw.

I also thought it was highly doubtful that such a powerful task force would be parked at such an island, surely they would only weigh anchor in major naval bases?
Was this type of scenario added in the Spyron mod? I assumed it was maybe a mod conflict with TMO.

I asked the Spyron mod creator if '
the Japanese used that area in an attempt to keep their capital ships hidden, or as a 'staging area' to assemble a Task Force prior to departing on a mission, or is it meant as a pleasant surprise for someone on patrol to stumble upon".
He said the group of capital ships approx 13 nm SW of Sofu Gan is there, "
both as a pleasant surprise & because the Japanese did use that area as a staging point. I also placed some Japanese DDs & aircraft around the perimeter of the staging area."
I have stumbled into that group, have also completed that particular mission, and there seemed to be heavy air cover (enough to keep me down most of the time); plus the DD's started to move in to search as soon as the first torpedo hit. I never attempted it during the day and planned my attack to take place at night (whenever possible I try to plan my attacks to take place at night).
When I attacked, the Capital ships reacted, had their spotlights searching for me, and fired their 5" guns where they thought I was. They also 'poured on the steam' and moved to try to evade my torpedo attack.
Because the Spyron mod was made for Stock 1.5, there probably is a simple roster(??) conflict. It could be corrected if the difference between TMO 2.5, (also 2.1 & 2.2 if using the Small_patch) and TMO 1.9 could be found because a lot of the members used TMO 1.9. I'm thinking that something relatively simple changed in TMO 2.0 that kept the guys using 1.9. Not sure.
Happy Hunting!
