Japanese and German subs in TMO
 
I'm in my TMO career with high realism with 891,000 tonnes sunk in early 44' but I haven't sunk a single German or Japanese sub can someone tell me where the good hunting grounds are?

You are getting paid to sink merchants! Since when are you a ASW?

Wel, I finally got my first Jap sub in their Home-waters. That little straight between Tokyo Bay, or where Tokyo is, and the big bay just to the west of Tokyo Bay area. There is a little groups of islands that form a small straits there, and I was in the middle, at depth as it was daytime, and the sonar man picked him up at about 16,000 yards, so I was able to move into position and blast out the outter and pressure hulls around the control room with one well placed torpedo.

Usually, if I want to do more sub hunting, I either start a career with the Asiatic Fleet outta Manila.

Once you transfer to Surabaya, and Australia eventually, spend as much time as you can in the Makassar Straits between Borneo and the Celebes. That's one of the main routes they travel through there. And just south of there, I think the Flores Sea it is on the map, between the shallows, stay in the deep water, in case of planes or enemy DDs and other escort ships.

Good Hunting Drum!

That is inconceivable! The AI is too hard!

I'd say that while your realism settings may be high, the actual realism is pretty near zero.

All I'd say is...

Ill bet there's a spot in the campaign layers i haven't found that are spawning aforementioned ships on a regular basis. Probably in the harbor traffic layer somewhere.

http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...s/ee25756c.gif Not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but are you sure you have TMO installed correctly?
BTW, if you're looking for U-Boats, I sank one in the Formosa Strait, mid or late 44. Got a message about it's transit there too.http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...s/11f5baf6.gif
I just sank my first Jap sub in open waters, early 42 in the Flores Sea. It was heading NNE toward the Molucca strait.http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...s/739d6e79.gif

If it is, I haven't seen it! But I don't go nosing around harbors either. Since using TMO from the 1.52(?) days, I think I have seen aa Yamato BB maybe once? :hmmm:

2 patrols back, I finally got a Fuso or Ise BB, and one Lt. cruiser. But I actually came back to base with a whoppin' 69k tons there abouts! Usually, depending on the DDs I have to tangle with, I usually have between 20k and 35k for tonnage sunk, depending on faulty torpedoes too. Have had as low as 8 or 9 thousand tons on one patrol, but that was from too many duds. Outta 24 fish, 5 actually went off.

I'll give you a hint Ducimus really needs to work on Truk.

Been to Truk a lot, and the most I ever saw there were 5 merchants, a couple light cruisers, and a few DDs patrolling.

Have you gone around the whole island.
