Ok, so this is more of a complaint than a patrol log, but here goes.
Im running 1.5 w/ RSRDC and TMO and i was out on my 15th war patrol of the war under these mods and decided i wanted to see what this huge surface battle looked like. I arrived at the location at the right time (historically) and low and behold, a MASSIVE number of american ships appeared, almost to a T the actual composition of forces. Waiting around the japs showed up also and the battle ensued with myself in the middle...which was fun cause every time i went to periscope depth the japanese destroyers would come a churning in at 30 knots only to get blown to peices by the massive american formation....now....ONLY the destoryers were destroyed. The japanese fleet consisted 2 Fuso battleships, 2 Mogami heavy cruisers (i sunk 1 mogami and 1 naka on their journey in) and a handful of destroyers (9-12 or so)....the americans had 8 bb, 8-10 CA/CL and around 30-40 destroyers....guess who won? the japanese....even after i lured all destroyer escorts into the trap and had them destroyed by friendlies all that was left were the 2 bb and 2 ca of the japanese fleet and they destroyed EVERY american ship....the only damage they seemed to have sustained was that they were all stationary (after slowing considerably then stopping altogether, thus i assume engine room damage), though I visually saw them take THOUSANDS of ship to ship shells and even saw 10-20 american aircraft bomb and hit these ships.
All in all it was a beautiful battle to watch, but i was left dumbstruck at the horrendous losses the US fleet took (it was TOTALLY ANHILATED!!)
Now a thought popped into my head, I know trigger maru made the japanese fleet ships tougher for user gameplay reasons, but i dont think he went into the american ships and updated their specs as well.
How would I check this and/or modify them on my own if i find a disparity?
thanx ahead of time.
