This has happened to me also, I can't get near a task force. You've probably heard the word super DDs used around here on occasion, this is the meaning. This all stems from FOTRS 2.0 and the multiplayer values they use. We haven't quite figured out what settings need to be changed yet. or if it is some particular ships that are the culprits. I've had the DDs peel off in a binding rain storm and head directly at me. Like we keep saying, FOTRSU is a work in progress.
The sensors are way to sensitive for the Japanese side with FOTRS. From an historical authentic point of view, the Japanese capabilities at best were mediocre....at worst non existent. During the war, we gave them way too much credit for their equipment. We discovered this after the war when both the U.S. Army and Air Corp concluded studies on Japanese equipment and research.

That's not to say there isn't value in giving the AI a sporting chance in this game, or a challenge for the home team. But, to compare what the FOTRS AI capabilities are compared to what the real life counterparts actually could do.....its like comparing an orange to a raisin.
