Japanese Task Force Compostition, Formations?

Youy are running RSRD, so that's would be the escort they actually had. You sure it was Hiryu, and not Unryo? If it was after June, 1942, it was certainly the latter (given that Hiryu and her sister (half-sister?) Soryu were sun at Midway.

Another thing is that since RSRD matches the TROM data, the ships might be moving slower than in RL. Why, when it matches the TROM? Because if they were doing an elaborate ZZ pattern in RL (possible here and there in SH4, but it literally makes ~10,000 waypoints for a single TF/convoy (I know, I made some)) their progress on the map is slowed, even though their speed is faster. Ie: ships making 16 knots along any given leg, but their forward movement along the base heading was only 11 knots.

SH4 would need an organic ZZ code to make this really doable in SH.

Jazzabilly, where did you sink those on December 8th, 1941, the very moment you left port?

No, I sank them in the course of a patrol that started on Dec. 8th. I don't know how that happened. I was having a lot of problems with the game, so I uninstalled and reinstalled.

Weird. Another bug, I guess.

Your sig lists mods installed, so I was wondering if this formation you saw was RSRDC or not.
