Now what is going on??? I'm in September of 1944 out of Pearl patroling around the Japanese home islands. RSRD is supposed to reduce traffic to historical levels. What I'm running into is multiple convoys everywhere. At one point I tracked three convoys of two or three merchies and four or five escorts simultaneously on radar. Every convoy of the past 10 or more that I've encountered has a similar makeup: two or three merchies accompanied by three to five escorts.

I just returned from the worst tonnage I've done and still had over 24,000 tons in spite of all the escorts I have to fight through to get to the merchies. Frankly it's fun and dangerous (had both periscopes destroyed and had to return home with two torpedoes left) but hardly as advertised for RSRD. Everyone else says they can't find targets.

I'm running in this order: Trigger Maru 1.7, TM patch 1.71, RSRDC_P1_TM_v114, NSM 3.3 hardcore torpedoes classic. Very strange.

I'm assuming all this is a dead issue. I'm in port downloading all the updates that come out while I'm at sea. They almost got me this time--blinded me. Hope I can survive the war!
