no, wait! which file controls the little red sunk ship icon that appears on the Nav board? this is a graphic file of some kind so you probably could "blank it out" such that no sunken ships would appear......
however, the kill would still be logged and available to be seen in the Captain's Log of Kills.
i do not believe that you can interrupt the kill-log-process without having access to the source code.
the fog of war is being scared s&itless but doing your job anyway. 
just play and have fun and forget the fog of war.  |
Yes, could not find contorls figured it was hard coded.
Well, fog of war in submarine sense was the unknown. Many times certain ships were claimed sunk and were mistaken for other classes or claimed sunk and were not and vice versa. One example I recall is Flying Fish attacking Yamato and identifying her as a Nagato Class because under pressure in the moment, the fog of war takes over. Also, don't believe the rec manuals had Yamato Class yet but they were aware of them. Adm Galatin in his book "Take Her Deep!" describes in detail his attack in HALIBUT in Oct 44 where he attacked and sunk what he thought was Ise Class BB but was in fact a Oyodo CL.
So given that, like other players have spoken with, the god like information cuts into the challenge sometimes. So not having official confirmation of sinking until arriving back at base really would add a certain element. The unknown is part of what keeps this sim interesting.
I believe it was RFB had the ship sunk message delayed until absolute last minute somehow, not sure its been years since ran RFB.
