Its in the sunk ships list but the points don't show up on the Intel screen. could it be because its been reported but not confermed?

I once had a Dinah pilot claiming an U.S sub........... -.-

I have Japanese BB reported as sunk for a third time, but it never got more than 2 torpedoes, so chances for it are nill.

It was definitly a "Take that, Darth Vader! " moment.

You can be sure SOME ship sank, but not necessarily the one in the report. Same for own ships. And I've lost US carriers to one IJN sub. In my last AI game, Saratoga, two days out of San Diego in the first week of the war.

Hit it with another 3 torpedoes 2 days later heading back to San Diego; now it shows that Lexington was sunk and the points showed up. So, I know I got a CV, just not sure what number is painted on the deck.

Status: offline 		New game, end of dec41, my 3 carriers attacked CVL and had witnesses, but for a total of 5 INJ ships sunk, have 151 points. the CVL is worth 181 and the other 4 ships 2 SSX, 1 AKL and 1 xAK. Still a point problem, but its not in question as weather or not the CVL was sunk.

Um, yeah, it is an open question.

One work around is always to look at the planes lost report. If you see a CVL-worth of the correct models gone that day it's a pretty good indicator. Not seing them is not, however, as they can bingo to another deck or to a land base if available.

I think that Allied deciphering and radio traffic analysis gave a clearer picture than we have in the game.
