Question: Did the Japs bomb Darwin in WWII? I was under the impression that their air cover did not extend that far.

Carriers ? Its a simulation not a historical re-enactment.

Anyhow at what time of the war did this happen ?

Oh, sorry for my ignorance. Guess I'll toss the map that came with the game, you know, the one that shows the Japs air cover at various HISTORICAL times of the war in the trash and not be surprised if I get bombed while docking in my home port of Freemantle. To be safe, would you recomend me docking at periscope depth?

The Japanese did indeed manage to attack Darwin during the war.

The raids were the first of about 100 air raids against Australia during 1942–43.

We may have suffered some raids, but in the words of Australian band The Hoodoo Gurus: "Tojo Never made it to Darwin..."

I now can understand why the 'lurkers' or 'stowawayes' far outnumber the captains in port at any given time. You ask a simple question as I did above and the smartasses just can't contain themselves - even to a moderator

Thanks to CptWilkins who has the maturity to impart knowledge which I was unaware of.

Hi

Had the same experience, but it happened in Pearl Harbour, when I was ending my second patrol...as i enter the harbour, i save the game for the night, and the next day i load the game, and all hell breaks loose...

In addition, when i dock, the captains log in my "office" has still just recorded my sinkings form the first patrol, but in the "submarine aces" section, all my tonnage is mentioned...

Is this a bug? Will my log just show my tonnage from patrol 2 when I end patrol 3?
