Why only partial attempt at making this game realistic

There's a thread in the moddders' forum somewhere which points out that there is something which appears to be a OOB for the various sides but that it's not used by the sim. Suggestion is it is something not "finished" come release time. Not sure if someone is looking into it further.

As a suggestion, you might like to go there and post a request (use [REQ] before the post title) that it be looked into.

One final thing - it's usually more helpful when pointing out a flaw to propose a solution. You've done some of that work posting a good list of various warships. Trick is to see if there's any way to dovetail that list, amended for sinkings, into the spawning logic to prevent you from sinking 6 Yamatos.....

My view is that this issue is small change compared with some of the real howlers in the realism stakes (radar being just one of them - if you read about investigations into radar in the modders' forum you'll see just how screwy it is!).

Just to make it clear, I'm NOT having a go at you for posting this - merely suggesting how you can use it to turn a negative (failure to track sinkings and incorrect OOB) into a positive (perhaps a mod that does so).

Cheers
