I can see ships, but the crew can't

That's exactly what I'm talking about, only I find it happens everywhere, not just in harbors. As soon as there's a little fog it happens, without fog no problem. I was on lifeguard duty at Guadalcanal yesterday. There were a dozen or more downed pilots in the water and I couldn't see one. Frustrating!

That brings up an interesting question. While I've never received the lifeguard mission, I have encountered survivors from aircraft my crew has downed. They show up as objects on the map, but when I approach the location can see nothing. Should they be visible if approached properly? Does SHIV/TMO/RSRDC expect anything be done with those survivors? I'm not into gunning them, but also expect they would not necessarily welcome rescue, Japanese warrior culture being what it was.

Thanks for hijacking my thread.

I suspect you'd get more answers if you start your own thread.
