Perhaps it was the Yamato, the Musashi (Yamato's sister ship) and a whole bunch of really big mirrors?

And if you can prove it, then turn off auto targeting.

Lucky you, i'm yet to see it.

Battle over realism versus game play i guess. Personally i'd rather have multiple Yamato's compared to only having one per career. :hmm:

You know, his point was the fact that it is possible to run acoss the Yamato so frequently...not that he sunk 5 Yamatos.

Even if he had been at full "realism" the 5 Yamatos would still be there spoiling the immersion effect, and that I think, was his true complaint.

Note that in the cfg you posted about it has the correct date for Yamato was registered. She never left the inland sea until Midway, however. So that means there are about 6 months where she is appearing (has a chance to appear) in every single TF that asks for a Generic BB (which is all of them that ask for a BB).

It's not just Yamato, though, it's every single warship. There were not many of ANY BB Class. Or CVs total.

From her TROM:
YAMATO, the world’s mightiest battleship, remains at Truk as a “hotel” from 29 August 1942 until 8 May 1943.

So we know where to find her for over 8 months in the middle of the war. Anchored at Truk. 5 days after that she's back in Japan for 3 months.

That is funny since in my last 1.1 patrol, I entered Truk and sailed around in april 1943, it is totally empty! :rotfl:

I guess we will have to wait until someone creates a campaign layer with Truk as a functioning IJN base!
