american destroyer question
 

I just started a UBoat campain with TMO SH4. I set sail for Pearl Harbor. Knocked out some merchants along the way. When I got about 75 clicks outside the harbor I sank a merchant. Then like 8 american destroyers came, i guess from the pearl harbor. I was never able to shake them and eventually got sunk at 170 in a IX boat. I like this mod but the destroyers are to much for my taste. I don't like spending hours trying to escape. Is there a way to alter a file in the mod to make destroyers less aggresive?

Or should i have been even deeper?

Thanks for the mods and stuff

You were 75km away from Pearl, US destroyers came out pf Pearl Harbor and were still able to find you from that distance? Something doesn't sound right. I think those DDs were probably a lot closer than you think. Always check your sonar periodically during an attack, just to make sure nobody is sneaking up on you from behind. Sorry, I never played the U-Boat campaigns but, how the heck did you make it all the way out to Pearl in a U-Boat?

I topped off before, East of the Philipines. Don't recall the name. Actually have plenty of fuel,3/4 at Pearl. I just find the DD's too hard in TMO. They always find u at any depth and sound. If i could just alter their file...

I say this because I am past trying to get huge counts or to follow the campaign. I want to hunt task force only American. But with this mod forget that. I guess i'll try a different mod.

Seventy-five kilometers off of the main American naval base in the Pacific? The home of the 7th Fleet? The one the the Japanese nearly destroyed? In a German u-boat?

I'm surprised they only sent eight.

Welcome to the boat mate. :salute:

As far as I know TMO does nothing for the U Boat missions, it's strictly a Fleetboat mod unless Ducimus did something in 2.5.

If you want to mod the U Boats you'll need Operation Monsoon.
A very good mod I might add.

Magic

lol
 

Sailor Steve u r funny. I will check out operation monsoon too. thanks guys. tmo did change the dds in u boat campain they are very accurate.

Yeah, I'd imagine they might be a tad sensitive about the time you showed up.

Ahh, OK, I didn't know the U-Boats could get fuel that far out in the Pacific. As far as the DDs go, I think I once saw a mod called "Easier AI For TMO" or something to that effect in the download section. I tried looking for it, but I think I just simply missed it. Sorry, too tired right now after a tour of duty.
