rawink -> Pearl Harbor results aren't historic? (7/8/2004 5:40:21 PM)

I keep seeing folks complaining about the Pearl Harbo results not being historic.. 1 or 2 sunk US BB's, and a lot in the med to high sys damage. If I recall properly.. the only BB truly SUNK was the Arizona (can't count Utah..). The others were all raised, and with the exception of the Oklahoma went on to fight again. So do you count Oklahoma or west virginia as being sunk? well.. YES they were sunk .. but they were raised.. IN the game once it's sunk, it's gone forever. So how do you simulate this in the game? 80 sys damage puts the ship out of action for a very long time. I would think that 70-90 sys damage is a very fair representation of a "sunk in the mud" ship that can be raised later to fight again. There is no option in game to "unsink" a ship. So sinking one or 2 BB's and doing severe damage to 3 or 4 others should be very accurate historically. just my opinion.. If you think Japan truly sunk 4 or 5 BB's at Pearl.. I suggest you read up on the Battle of Leyte Gulf.. for ships that were sunk they managed totravel a fairly good ways.
