昭和17年1月10日、昨日はみあたらなかった連合軍の巡洋艦を含んだTFがジャワ島南岸のLoemadjangにやってきました。このヘクスで揚陸していた船団を叩きにやって来たのだと思います。それを予想して揚陸船団はすでに待避させた後でしたが、しんがりを務めていたCL SendaiとDD 6隻のTFと戦闘になりました。夜間2回と昼間1回、合計3回の戦闘がありました。駆逐艦の数は双方ともに6隻と同数ですが、軽巡の数は連合軍側3隻に対して日本側1隻と劣勢です。ひどくやられるのかと思ってアニメーションをみましたが、夜間の2回は明らかに日本側が有利に戦闘を進めていて、3回目の昼間の戦闘では日本側の被弾数の方が多くなりました。これは、夜戦の訓練に熱心だった日本海軍の伝統を反映して、夜間のexpが日本側が高く設定されているのにたいし、昼間の戦闘では数的に優勢なオランダ軍が互角以上に戦ったということなのでしょう。コンバットリポートに表示される用語についてみてみると、on fireの3隻は戦闘終了後に1, 4, 6のfire damageがみられました。heavy damageと表示されたDD ArashiはSys 55, Flt 29, Eng 23とたしかに大きなダメージ。しかし、heavy damageと表示されていない3隻もかなりのダメージを受けています。こういったことも、連合軍側の艦船のダメージを推定する多少の参考にはなるでしょうか。

という悲痛な報告がありました。それにしても、ダメコンチームが浸水した区画に閉じ込められてしまうなんて、芸が細かい。もしかすると連合軍プレイヤーはこの表現をよく目にしているのかも知れませんが、 日本の艦船はいったん浸水が増え始めると一気に100になって沈没してしまうことがほとんどで、私は初めてみました。ともあれ、ダメコンチーム全滅でこの被害では、明日は残念な報告があがってきそうです。
