Congrats on sinking a Yamato.

I haven't even seen a single enemy ship yet

TMO 2.5
RSRDC
Some smaller mods

I got to thinking. Originally there were 3 Yamato BBs... At daylight after my 1st attack I only had 2 now that I think of it. I wonder if the first one I hit slowed out of the convoy during the night? I never got a ship sunk message although she may have floundered and I didn't get credit.

I was so concentrated on the lead one it never hit me that one was missing till last night. What an awesome game!!!!

My other excitement was setting up on a large Task Force with 3 columns.... Which seemed odd to me. i setup my ambush point so they would come to me and got my torpedoes some what ready and what did I finally see....... It was a damn US Carrier Task Force!!!! Embarrassing!!!!

Not nearly as embarrassing as cutting your fish loose.

Despite the fact that a few US subs were attacked and even sunk by friendly forces, I can't think of one instance where a US sub accidently sank or attacked a warship from the US Navy. A few Russian ships and subs did fall to US torpedoes in the Pacific though. That was embarrassing enough.

Just noticed that. Three Yamatos in one task force? That would be an awesome sight. I guess the carrier conversion for Shinano got cancelled.

Yeah that kinda threw me for a loop. If he's using RSRD he should never have more then two Yamato's in one TF/

Maybe I miscounted on my first observation and the 3rd was actually a heavy cruiser or there was only 2 to begin with. That would explain why I only saw 2 in the morning.
