Disappearing ships

Hunter One · 08-24-08, 10:41 PM

On a recent encounter w/ a Nipponese task force near Rabaul (4 carriers, 2 hvy cruisers, 2 seaplane tenders and asst. escorts), the entire task force vanished in the middle of the game play. One second they are there, the next they are gone. No radar or sonar contacts, nothing. I did get credit for sinking a "Shokaku" and an "Akizuki". But the rest of the task force just disappeared.

Anyone else experience same? Strange, I didn't think I was near the Bermuda Triangle. You can read the entire account of the encounter in the patrol log thread.

When ships reach their final waypoint they disappear if set to do so, and they often are. Keeps the game from hogging sytem resources, even though having them disappear in the middle of the sea is a strange choice.

part of that I think, is that they broke up the campaign maps
into smaller regional maps to drop loading times.
