What I love are the Nelsonian tactics - if they can be called tactics. Sir, ship sighted 14,000 yards... Very well. Hold your fire until range is 1000 yards... Aye, Sir. Ah... "No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy."

You can smell the cordite and feel the salt spray on your face. Hell of a ride.

But they maintained visibility out to 28,000 yards on disengagement!! Must have been a hell of a rain squall.......

JohnDillworth -> RE: Blind/drunk observers? (10/24/2009 2:33:31 PM)
What was the propellant used in the torpedos. Don't know about the Japaneses torps but some modes were powered by alcohol. So, they might have drank the alcohol from the torpedoes rendering them blind and the torpedoes inoperable. This clearly explains the combat result. Wow, this game has everything! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_juice
