As to unexplained damage being taken my latest example was near the end of my last completed patrol. I was still WSW of Miday on my way back to Pearl. As it was late IRL I saved the game and went to bed. Next day I fire up SH4 and load the save. I'm on the surface at night, I order ahead slow and click on the map to make sure of my current heading and refresh my memory a bit as to my location. I start getting the "taking damage" calls from the crew. Huh? I'm between Wake and Midway, it's night, there are no ships or aircraft anywere, other than my boat. I go to the damage contol screen and see I have a damaged forward bulkhead, damaged forward battries, and flooding in the forward torpedo room. My forward torpedo crew are all wounded, half my damage control party is as well.

I go to externals and look at my boat from stem to stern, nothing. No objects in the water, no enemy presence of any kind, no ships to ram..nothing.

I exit the game at that point and reload the save and all is well after that.

I've had this happen more than a few times.

I have no reason to make any of this up, I want to have a good experience with SH4, but it grows increasing more difficult. I hope the 1.03 version fixes these problems.
