I'm playing stock at the moment, in a Balao at the start of 1944. Escorts aren't a big problem unless you let them get close, just dive to max depth and silently slide away (and don't engage convoys in shallow water). I've noticed that task force escorts have radar detectors whereas convoy escorts don't. Also there are times on the surface when you are being fired upon before your lookouts have even spotted them, but with radar you can just go to periscope depth way out of visual range. Thing to watch out for is not noticing that it is raining and getting an enemy ship right on top of you while accelerating time in map view.
Are any mods recommended?
