it seems he pressed continue sortie instead of return, that's why he refreshed =w=
Looks like it. As long as you didn't select the battle formation, your fleet won't enter battle, therefore your ships won't receive damage or sink.
So we withdraw...Well, it's a little...Tactical formation order, please.Ain't it obvious that we should return! Leave that guy alone!Haha...Admiral... ?I can't believe that even though Kitakami-san is heavily damaged, we're going forward!Admiral we've tracked the enemy ships ahead.There's no reply, what do we do?Eh? Admiral? Did something happened that you weren't there a while ago?
