in all of the thousands of missions that my valiant crew and i have been on, i can remember only one time when i witnessed friendly forces attacking enemy forces in my presence.
it was in the Pacific Theatre and it involved aircraft but i cannot remember which mod-set i was playing and it was one time. never to be repeated.

I'm guessing that these guys were taken out by "friendlies."
I stalked them through two course changes out of Taipei and then lost them on sonar. I'm guessing a friendly unit found them.

BTW... is there a trick to getting images stored on steam to appear in-line? I put the full url of the image in the pop-up box and nothing appears in the post

To post to where the image shows, use the img tag, and not the url. ie: [img]TheURLtoMyPic.jpg[/img], which should then show it inline - but only if the other site allows it. I am not sure of Steam Community's UA.

As for the "friendlies", it all depends upon where you are, and when you are there. Generally speaking, from March of 1942 until late 1943, you will be the only "friendly" in that area. Once the carriers start roaming about the western Pacific though, and freely distributing Mischer Hair Cuts, then you might find some USN flyboys taking out some shipping. There are a few forays in late 1942 and early 1943 as far as Marcus Island, but I don't think they went toward Formosa for a time... As you say though, bad weather will also take out shipping, and I have seen the occasional fratricide incident occur, but usually only when they are after you. Since those two are spaced the way that they are, I would suspect some "help" also...
