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.
Weird, well sometimes it could be mines or shore batteries, clearly not in this case though. What about the weather? Could be something to do with weather, storms causing damge but not noticed becasue of high TC (storm comes and goes in transit and not noticed)...doesn't sound like your case however. :hmm:


For the record, heartc has good info usually.
