goatan -> Can ships be misidentified? (4/27/2011 4:00:24 PM)

I recently checked through the sunk japanese ship in my GC game and a BB (Haruna) that i didn't know about was sunk on the 11th Dec 42 along with 2 destroyers (one of which was Namikaze) near Serasan. I do remember repulse, prince of wales and a motley collection of destroyers and cruisers engaging and driving of the BB Ise with heavy fires one of Ise's escorting destroyers was the Namikaze.
Is it possible that the ship that was reported on the combat screen as Ise was infact the Haruna? Or did i just miss a combat screen (more than likely) and Repulse and the prince engaged 2 IJN BB's in the same patch of sea and came out with barely a scratch, the prince lost her radar and some 2 pdrs repulse had nothing.

Yes, it is. The game handles fog of war quite well.

Fog of War. Last nights surface action (23 April 1942) southeast of Milne Bay. IJN CVL Shoho. Later sinks outside of Milne Bay, identified in ships sunk as Zuiho unknown reasons. In that surface acion was a decisive allied victory. Sunk 1 CVL, 2 CL's & 2 DD's to my loss of 2 DD's. Promotions to all.[sm=00000436.gif]

The thing is...in a few months, you may very well get an intel report that the prior reports of "X" ship being sunk were wrong, as the ship has been confirmed still active!...Very realistic..

Ya' I know. She did take some good hits though. Also in air losses it showed 12 Zekes and 8 Kates destroyed on the ground. I'm hoping this is good intel.[sm=innocent0001.gif]

The CL's and DD's were visually confirmed.

I don't trust even visual confirmation. I have gotten so 'respectful' of the fog of war that I don't trust anything any more.

Hehe yes, I am quite familiar with this path to paranoia.

FOW ist one of the most fun parts of WitPAE.



Fallschirmjager -> RE: Can ships be misidentified? (5/2/2011 12:20:56 AM)

I have adopted the philosophy of just sink anything that floats and eventually the FOW doesn't matter [:D]
