Greetings,

playing in a recent career and was attacking a convoy. There was a solitary DD 'twixt the convoy and me so I tasked my hydrophone operator to track it as it was the nearest enemy ship. Fair enough I keep getting reports on the DD, it's moving away so I concentrate on my attack. Then the report "enemy brg c045 degs moving away fast long range".

I raise the 'scope and BANG!! A DD rolls over me! Attack 'scope, deck gun destroyed and major hull leaks. End of a promising career.

What had obviously happened is that the hyd operator stays with the original 'nearest' enemy even when it is no longer the nearest.
Has any one else fallen for this one?
