the last time this happened, enemy attacks left us with hull damage over 90%. fortunately, our engines were not seriously damaged and we were able to boogie home (Pearl) to claim our bag of sinkings. interestingly, we were sailing in a salmon/sargo and our new boat was a porpoise. (lol) gotta love this game.
Yes, I was quite nervous about the Darwin Raid, as I knew it was in early 1942 but I couldn't remember the exact dates and didn't want to ALT-Tab to check.

I had a Salmon Class to start with and have been moved to a Sargo, so no complaints here . I have the option to change the 3in gun from aft to forward, but I remember reading about problems doing that long ago. Has this ever been fixed in FOTRSU or is it a SH4 unsolvable bug?

Oh, I remember now. When I started the career at Cavite Naval Base on Dec 9th I spent some time watching the area with the free camera and noticed a pair of P-47 Thunderbolts overflying the bay. Maybe they could be changed for more accurate P-40s for that time.
