jokker, you didn't say if you're running any mods or not. RSRDC copies the AI crew skill to be as historically accurate as possible. As the war progressed, Japanese anti-sub skill and equipment improved. The stock game randomly assigned AI skill level. If you're running stock, then you may have randomly gotten all DE's with the top level AI.

I'm late in 1943 now.

As for mods, pretty much eye candy mods plus one one of the über mods(TMO I think). Not near my desktop. Using the jSGME enabler.

The whole mod issue is very complex when beginning.

Which ones, in what order, etc,

Bob

Usually Fubiki class, they are relentless and deadly. I don't commonly get away from one once its on my tail.

If you run the mod that has the Fubuki firing torpedoes at enemy vessels

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ghlight=fubuki

it gets even more interesting. I had a Fubuki turn away from me once and I thought how did I get out of that and went to the sonar station to here his torpedoes coming after me ... I never clenched so tight trying to wish us deeper and deeper to avoid getting hit.

You think that's bad try it with the Iowa mod. I've gotten sunk more times then I care to remember. Only think I don't like about the mod is it makes the Kuma Cruisers fire torps out of there guns.

No idea, as the ones that get me are the ace escorts that drop an accurate salvo right on me when past test depth (running silent, 1/3rd, and doing my best to make as small a target as possible with the hydrophone).

I usually slip away, but there's always one ace out there who'll drop them right on you no matter what you do during the campaign.

On the surface, they're all the same to me (meaning, too damn dangerous the lot of them).

Your mistake is your speed, when they dump, hit flank until the charges explode, then go silent....slow speed will get ya killed in this game.

O, I do hit flank when I know there's a deep salvo coming my way; just those times when I fail to pickup that the escort has me.

Though with saying that, the odd ace still gets you when going flank as soon as you hear the splashes.
