Thanks for that. Not a huge Save file then. How many patrols do you have, and do you remember the date you were assigned the Balao, and the date of your sailing from Mare / San Francisco?

Actually (V080 RC2 + Patch 5) they are blind and deaf.
No need to be on silent running, nor low speed submerged close to them...that’s way too easy (and boring)
For test, i picked up the sim file of TMO 2.5 and activated it on top of FOTRSU.
Was expecting « uber » destroyers like in TMO, but to my surprise, they remained same noob 
So obviously there are others files to tweak to obtain same TMO results...
It was in the convoy attack training mission (hard)
On side note, i’m Not fan of « uber » destroyers, something more intermediate. |
What is a bit surprising is the varied escort behavior. I have run across a few that seem "timid" in their prosecution of the war, but for the most part, they've done a relatively good job of chasing me down. My only issue with them was that they did not shoot at my scope being up very often. The AI was tweaked again for the next release, and they are definitely more agressive. My scope was again hit by gun fire from a CV DD combo while attacking. Shot #6 through a cracked lense - it missed. In fact, I've had them find me from 10000 yards away, while I was set at 1 knot speed, on Silent Running and below the thermal by 50-60 ft. Of course, I was going after their CV, so probably extra attentive, but while facing the lead escort, it went out of its way to drop boom-boom right on me, and at the correct depth. Thankfully, I was right between the throwers' and the dropper's cans, and only took minimal damage. He did leave me alone long enough to get my attack in. They did put the hurt on me after I damaged the CV though. I'm still trying to get out of there...
