ran into this while on patrol no torpedoes. damn it Jim.unless i'm mistaken there were only two ever built Nelson and the Rodney, squadron accompanied by 7-8 destroyers ....suicide run ps no mods other than graphics and airpower

Wierd, and cool. One thing I don't like about SH3, as there were only two Nelson class ships. If you were to sink one or two you might run into another two or three next patrol.

Should be a limited number of major warships as in the war.

I was wondering that myself. If I was to sink them, I shouldn't ever see them again in my career.

Where's the third Nelson? I only see two. The trailing ships look to small to be a BB.

Considering how this is just a simulation that we can freely modify, it would make sense to me and maybe be a good idea that we should encounter historic variability during patrols. "What if?" scenarios such as getting a type XXI as early as 1944 and being able to patrol with it, for example.

As you can see, there's a wake before the first boat in the pic.

I never even noticed the wake.

You could modify the appearance dates in the data\roster files so that you don't see a particular class again if you sink all of its members.
