ORIGINAL: CaptainBokarati Okay, time to hijack my thread back! Finally it is ten days after my 10th post, so I guess and hope I can finally ask my question number #04: #04: Ghost sightings In that Coral Sea scenario (still my first game...) I got a lot of erraneous sightings. For example: 1942-05-06: 2 Japanese ships in Townsville hex (no ships there, neither mine nor Japanese AI) 1942-05-07: 4 Japanese ships near Noumea 3 Japanese ships near Noumea fact: two single-sub Japanese TFs near Noumea, none of mine 1942-05-08: 2 Japanese ships near Townsville, going west (two hexes further, there is one of my DD/AO TFs; it didn't move through the hex (came from further east), but is moving west 1942-05-10: 2 Japanese ships near Bundaberg, moving sw (no enemy ships there, a single sub of mine patrolling) 1942-05-11: 4 Japanese ships near Rockhampton 5 Japanese ships near Brisbane 3 Japanese ships near Rockhampton fact: a surface TF (2x CA 3x DD) is patrolling around Fraser Island, searching for the contacts from yesterday; addiotionally 2 single-sub TFs of mine also in the vicinity 1942-05-12: 5 Japanese ships near Koumac 8 Japanese ships near Koumac 9 Japanese ships near Noumea fact: still only two Japanese single-sub TFs in the area 8 Japanese ships near Cooktown one or two Japanese single-sub TFs in the area; six of my own ships in two TFs (same hex) in the area 1942-05-13: 9 Japanese ships near Rockhampton 6 Japanese ships near Rockhampton fact: see 11th: 2 single-sub TFs and the surface TF, no enemy ships 3 Japanese ships near Noumea (still those 2 Japanes single-sub TFs) 1942-05-14: 8, 6 and 4 Japanese ships near Noumea 7 Japanese ships near Cooktown And I saw that the Japanese suffer from the same problem, seeing Allied fleets around Truc where there is none at all. I really think that is a bit over the top. A ghost ship? Yes, sure. A ghost fleet? I don't know. A repetitive sighting of a ghost fleet? Hmmmm. If those airborne searches are that unreliable, I wonder why to do them at all. Or do I only believe it when the game gives me the little red icons? But why give me those operation reports if they are to be ignored anyway? Especially those reports around Noumea were repetitive; so even waiting until the same reports pops up several times would have led me on a ghost hunt... Any opinions how to take all these ghost sightings? Cheers, Bokarati Edit: And what in this post made the forum software believe I was about to post an email adress, a website or a telephone number...? Fog of war...there may of been a ship there at some point, or not. FOW will give you strange reports now and then....GP
