If you are already aware of the issue, but it's too complicated to make disappear from game history a capital ship sunk, my apologies for bothering you. Thanks.

There were 6 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, all of them operated by the Royal Navy. Think of it as if you were lucky enough to meet and sink two of her sister ships... and prepare yourself to sink the 4 remaining vessels of her class

Haha...just sunk by mistake a Portugal ship (neutral) in a foggy night, and i saw it counted for the kills bar progression

IMO it shouldn't!...maybe you could adress this feature for a next update?

Those damn flags aren't easy to see when Sober fog is here

Yes, it's counted in the progress bar.. but.. you will get a renown penalty on return to home base..

Forgive my ignorance

... I should have better checked history books before asking.
Ready for the sisters ... 3 indeed

as from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_E...ass_battleship
The Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were a class of five super-dreadnoughts of the Royal Navy commissioned in 1915–16. The lead ship was named after Elizabeth I of England. These battleships were superior in firepower, protection and speed to their Royal Navy predecessors of the Iron Duke-class as well as preceding German classes such as the König-class, although the corresponding Bayern-class ships were competitive except for being 2 knots (3.7 km/h) slower. As such, the Queen Elizabeths are generally considered the first fast battleships.
Thank you for the info

Well, I downloaded OH2 on two different computers. On one with Chrome and the other with IE. When I try to extract them, they still show corrupted files, such as B-17 airplane.wav, etc.

There are 2662 errors.

You don't need to excuse yourself: I was just kidding and your question was pertinent

Unfortunately, I don't think SH5 capaign can keep track of the sunk ships of a given class, for deciding wether to spawn them again the next time, or not. Afaik the one factors that the game is taking into account when picking units intended for generic or convoy traffic, are unit type and unit availability dates which, being written of file, are static settings.

On the other hand, if you sink an unit within a convoy, I am quite sure it won't respawn within the same convoy, even though you temporarily loose contact with it. Not the same with damage and ammo loadouts: they aren't recorded in memory nor in savegame. It means that if you loose contact or save the game, hit points, shells, bombs, torpedoes, etc. of any unit will be reset to factory settings when you meet it again.
