Default I tasted RSRD

Merci et bravo pour ce MOD.

My first carreer with RSRD:
SH4 U-Boat Missions + RSRDC_RFB_V575 + RDRSC_V5xx_Patch1
Base : TF 3/51/71 (Cavite) on 7 dec 1941
USS Snapper (Salmon class)
Manual torpedo firing. Dud torpodoes = false (I hate defective torpedoes )

1st patrol: patrolling in Gulf of Lingayen during 72 h.
After 72 h. no ships detected.
Message : Heavy IJN units in transit from Cam Raul Bay. I run to 07°30'- 110°E...
Bingo ! Big IJN Task Force detected and sunk : 90,000 tons
On the way back, I meet a new Task Force but I only have 5 fish. Another battleship will join his friends.
I rallied the base in Surabaya : many medals !
I buy SD radar and a bow 4" gun.

2nd patrol: patrolling in Macassar Strait and report IJN contacts to ABDA TF 3 ASAP.
Arriving on the area, non-escorted convoy merchant detected but impossible to send the message.
Attack!

I want to arm the gun but location for the crew is no longer available. I do not think RSRD is involved because I had the problem with TMO, a time.
38,000 merchant tons sunk. Despite shooting manual, pretty easy, but the planes were annoyed !
Back to Surabaya. 5 medals

I loved:
- Patrolling with realistic goals
- The new navigation map with a lot of bases indicated
- Fueling in Balikpapan

Some questions:
- Nagumo's fleet (Pearl Harbor attack) never comes into play.

Overall it's a great MOD. Thanks.
