OoBP continuity bug: Sinking Yamamoto twice

[Andy2012]

Hi guys, just two minor things during the US campaign:

1. I sank the entire Japanese fleet during the Leyte mission, including the Yamamoto before they could withdraw. (Yes, I am that awesome. ) The campaing announcement "We destroyed the Japanese fleet in Leyte gulf etc." just had a black pic instead of the usual war photograph.
2. During the Okinawa scenario right after that, the Yamamoto was back again. I sank it again, no problem. Got the campaign event "Yamamote sunk, big blast and so on" again. This is not the biggest deal, but maybe you want to fix that continuity error.

Still a great game.

Technically, Yamato, not Yamamoto is the class of Battleship as well as the name of one. 3 were built during the war - Yamato, Musashi. and Shinano. Musashi was sunk at Leyte by aircraft, Yamato sunk off Okinawa by aircraft, and Shinano was converted into an aircraft carrier and sunk by US submarine before she entered service. Since the game does not give individual names to ships, it is possible to sink Yamato twice and still be correct historically. Yamamoto was the Japanese admiral who planned Pearl Harbor and Midway. He was shot down and killed by US aircraft while visiting the front lines during the Solomons campaign.

Sorry, posted this in a hurry between things. You are of course right.

However, it displayed Yamato being sunk twice. Minor issue anyways.

EDIT: BTW, the game did give the ship an individual name, as far as I remember. Musashi was never there.
