The Attu area though, does not have many planes, and I therefore doubt if airplanes play a part. I also saw very little other traffic there. I am wondering about the amount of Save data though. I do remember doing a Save after maybe the sixth Objective, five of which I had done a Status Update to get, and the Save took a while to write. I should have Saved the Save, looking back on it... I don't even know how big it was... I'm going back in for another attempt. Last round failed to fail, and I am on the little laptop... 
Edit 1700 Hours: Now I can't get it to break... which is OK also, I suppose... I'll keep trying.  |
Beginning to wonder, if what I experienced... wasn't a 1 off fluke... at this rate, I don't know what to say... other than I know it happened, but know that now... the objective is in the bag...
As it stands, have 7 completed objectives... & am beating feet back to Surabaya (before it gets abandoned... that is, if it doesn't before I get there... in which case will head for Freemantle I think it was that boats were told to go to after Surabaya was abandoned.)
In the bag, are 7 ships sunk, thus far... 4 merchie's & 3 warships, for a total of close to 30K tonnage... not bad, if I say so Myself...
& I haven't hit base... yet, so I could possibly bag a couple more before then.
