A/c on navS are just looking for ships. If there are searching an area that covers a base they would spot ships anchored or even docked but unless moving in the same direction they could not identify if they are in a TF, they are just ships. But the game needs to be able to report them and that's in three possible ways, docked, anchored or at sea. As it's navS then I don't see why should not make the assumption that the spotted ships are not part of a TF. E.g. If three TKs and a PB where parked in Miri it would be logical to assume they were loading oil or fuel then hauling it away somewhere, hence in a TF. On the other hand you could not necessarily make that assumtion four similar ships parked in PH or Tokyo. It's just a judgement call and as navS is searching an area at sea for ships it's just reporting them as being in a TF. There is of cause FOG, most reports of TF contents are wildly inaccurate unless tracked over time, so to me they are just some ships in that location with further investigation needed.BBfanboy wrote: Sun Dec 21, 2025 12:13 am That's what I concluded too RJ. I was just griping that the programmers could have made the docking exception since the TF is immobile.
One last thing just to confuse thing, recon missions will also report ships as being in a TF in a targetted bases. A recon mission is just a snap shot in time while a navS could follow ships?
