Maybe. Fog of war and all; but she disappeared from all further air raids that day.

Nice work.

I lost Mutsu to a lousy mine hit in my current game.

I always thought that was the case

If true I would have to add it to the list of little things I have somehow managed to not know for all these years...

I believe so too. I think it means observers actually see the ship go, instead of still floating in a a very damaged state (that would be a heavy fires, heavy damage for you)

It was probably the Yamato anyway. The intel reports are always talking about the wrong ships.

"Previous reports of sinking of Musashi incorrect. Ship sighted at Takao."

Then 6 months later: "Loss of Yamato admitted".

Status: offline 		True, but smoking in the magazine, and in when at battle stations, and is severe storms. Such a man wouldn't, in my humble opinion, have access to the magazine. Such a person would have been weeded out long before the ship left port. Right?

Status: offline 		What usually goes up first is not the cordite which is the main propellant but the black powder which is very unstable around heat and pressure. The black powder sets off the cordite charge in the breech of the gun.

Think of when they used nitrocellulose. They used it as the main propellant in big guns as well as billiard/pool balls. Sometimes the billiard/pool balls would explode when they hit each other. Not a very good idea in the old West of the USA with drunk cowboys with pistols.

IME it means that the ship was observed to sink by your pilots/naval ships so it is always true. Pretty hard to miss a magazine explosion too!
