Japanese Subs

It seems like every Japanese harbor has a sub or two, but sadly you can't register sinking any of them.

They're just there for decoration...

I know this thread has been quiet for a little while ;-), but I just wanted to say that at least in my version (gold edition with u-boat missions, running both TMO and RSRD), you can indeed sink Japanese subs.

I was in late '42, off the southern coast of Japan, on my way to Korea, when I saw a Japanese sub:

It blew up real good, it turned out only 1 torp was needed, though I sent 3:

here it is on its way to the bottom, the hole my torp blew in it is by the cursor:

I found and sunk one a couple weeks ago, just outside of Balikpapan in February, 1942. One torpedo sent it to the bottom. My crew called out "She's going down, sir!" and I watched it disappear. A red "sunken ship" label showed up on the map, but when I exited the game it only gave me credit for the tonnage, but not a warship kill.

I still added a Rising Sun flag to my sail, though!

Sometimes you don't get credit for sinking in-port ships because they hit bottom without going completely under.
