Actually, less than a pixel. Even in the group window with max zoom nothing shows.

Aargh!!!

Are there tides modeled in this game? How did my sub unbeach itself?
Thanks.

I really think they need to remove some of the tiny land masses off the map, if only to stop the AI blundering right into them and losing ships.

Just wait till you try to slip a fleet through Gibraltar or from the Black Sea into the Agean...its a nightmare. It's not so much the little islands, its the ocean topography. The depths are modeled fairly accurately, giving you only a small channel to move through. Gibralter and moving between the Black Sea and Agean almost require splitting the group and running each ship through individually.
It's not that much unlike what has to happen in RL, but for the game its quite a bit of micromanagement.

You should try it when there are minefields on both sides. Fun fun.
