That's fine, I saw the ship s7rikeback had posted (about the tanker sitting in/on land), but I couldn't repost his image. So, I used your's. The reason behind the anomaly can still be what I pointed out. Either the ships placement is off, or the ships spawn radius is enabled in the mission file he was playing. Mod soup could be the reason, but it usually has you quickly returning to desktop when it flares up.

They didn't have radar in June of 42 on Japanese DDs, did they?

No, they didn't. But that doesn't mean FOTRS following Ducimus's work won't have such things. From what I've read in several post war studies from both the U.S. Navy and Air force, we gave the Japanese
way too much credit for having electronic advancements such as we had. Actually the ASW from them was non existent for most of the war. I'm not wanting to get into the specifics now, but the way the Japanese ran their wartime shipping (or protection of same) was nothing like what occurred in the Atlantic. Freighter's seldom ran in convoys of more than a couple of ships, hardly ever having protection. The Japanese Army (always at odds with their Navy) many times controlled specific areas of the Pacific, it was from these separate commanders that would decide whether they wished to provide any support at all for the merchant fleet. Frankly, the Japanese in all their bluster ran quite a different war then the Germans.
