in the second shot, we are within approx 3000 yds of the RGG i created with the exact same ships as the Group above and there is no second spawn, no detection by the crew or our sensors.

 

i created another RGG, this one is IJN merchies (Momoyama Maru aka Hog Island Freighter) that i know appear during game play.
yet, they perform the same as the US warship groups.

 

the problem has to be rooted in the way the game treats neutrals during prewar dates.
i changed the date of the Pre-War Asiatic 02 mission to December 9 1941, created a new boat based in Cavite, then assigned the Pre-war (now December 1941) mission to the new boat.
Bingo, the Marblehead and its escort now spawn as expected.

 

at least this proves that the game is prejudiced during the pre-war time frame in the Pacific in the way it manages groups/RGGs.
i suspect that if we designed an August 1939 pre-war mission for Dark Waters that the game would react similarly.
