I looked out the bridge view and saw another Danish coastal freighter just aft of the first freighter that hadn't even been spotted - it couldn't have been more than 400m from my ship!

Anyone else experienced this? I've also tried the early destroyer, but didn't make any contact with the enemy on my first patrol (though it seemed to have no problem spotting things in Wilhelmshaven).


I have the same problem when I was sailing Bismarck is my crew is not able to see Catalina was only when I started to shoot it but when I saw it was a destroyer sailed oki think that this problem tartar that obscures the view of observers of the superstructure on the bridge, unfortunately vessels often do not see
