Even If your patrolling of the ryukus in late December 1941 cause that's where I've been patrolling for a bit and I haven't had a single contact again is that normal?

Really no traffic in the direct area there, cept for some singles. Get down in the Luzon, just south of Formosa.

Way I play RSRD, early way I attack the invasion groups hitting the Philippines, such as Lingayen Gulf. They're several that hit, just choosing one, some hit Aparri, others hit a tad north of the San Bern. When you lose Manila and end up at Surabaya, get ready for the massive invasion of Java in late Feb. several large invasion groups 30 plus ships, one over 50. Then I go for battles near the Solomons through 42, hang around Truk/Home waters shipping lanes in 43. The best shipping lanes late war come through Formosa Strait...

Hey thanx yeah it is working but another question just earlier I had to use my own sonar manually because there was a studder which means ships loaded and I used the sonar and I had to use it because it was the 10,000 yard ultrasonic sonar I was using it on the surface and the ship I heard was at 13 Nm so my sonar guy wasn't reporting it (he only here ships In the real life range of 10,000 yards) in the information box in the top left corner was saying ship type unknown I hit the send bearing to tdc and the sonar guy said merchant so I tried to close the range and get ahead moving at flank which makes allot of wake but when I got with in 9,000 yards of him my sonar guy said warship. Anyway why did he say merchant when I was on the sonar and then warship when he got within real life range of the ultra sonic sonar?

172 words. Two punctuation marks.
Really? :/\\!!

Probably because he didn't know what you were listening to and had to write something down in the notepad. The game does some weird things sometimes. Almost as though it was released half-finished.

Thanx and sorry about my punctuation. Another question in TMO+RSRDC do u still get the merchant spotted or warship spotted on the game when u spot an enemy merchant or warship?

Cause I haven't been getting pop ups when my men spot stuff.

Let me rephrase, whenever my men spot an enemy ship (shofar it's all destroyers) I haven't been getting the pop up saying warship spotted and then there's 3 options, engage target, maintain current orders and dive to periscope deph. The point is that I haven't been getting those pop ups. Shouldn't I be getting them?

You only get that the first time. Afterwards, the game uses whatever selection you made.

for the first ship in the group you'll get the option box, then with most mods you'll just get a verbal cue for other ships. This way you don't choose separate options for other ships in the same group which wouldn't make sense.

As I recall, it really depends on the option you pick if the option box appears with each group or not. Been too long since I've played.

Is it normal w/ TMO+RSRDC to be on an entire patrol without seeing a single aircraft?

Depends on where you patrol, date, etc. As the enemy takes more territory, they set up more bases and air patrols.

Does sh4+TMO+RSRDC have icebergs models in the North Pacific and does the game show seasons by like when the sun sets and how dark the night is?

Yes, they're some icebergs, but fact is really no game traffic where they are and more likely you would hit one before you see one.

Yes, in general the game has seasons that effects moon and sun rising/set times. The moon cycle is very accurate. The game doesn't have eclipses in the true sense, but with each historical eclipse during the war, the game gets close with the moon and sun almost on top of each other.

Light is a little tricky and stays basically the same based on the values given by the mod. The nights aren't that realistic as in real life, but again mods can change things up. I made a night mod/TMO for Bubblehead which is more realistic, at least he likes it, but I don't have it on this PC. If he shows back up I'll get a copy from him and upload it.

Just remember at night, the higher the moon is in the sky, the more light.
