I have found mods were like trying to find the perfect woman...there are many thing you want to combine from several into your perfect game.

I have only played RFB a few patrols, before that TMORSRD with some added mods.

RSRD isn't perfect, but wouldn't play the game without it.

Things I don't like about TMO..the dd's are much stronger. I've noticed that easily already. TMO's can go into Godmode. You can be 3000 yards away at periscope depth running silent and here come the dd's right on you. You basically have little time to plan a shot. In reality, most attacks came after you attacked, not before.

I hate the pitted night scope in TMO..hard on the eyes.

I can do without all the special officers regardless of the mod.

I've attacked bungo pete twice..well ran into him,, lost both times. Sent two spreads of three behind each other, turned and let go 3 cuties...nothing got close.
I seldom miss DTT with a spread of 3.

I prefer env mod in TMO..but that's subject to taste.

I like the historical aspects of RFB. I play 100%, no contacts or cams, so the learning curve wasn't that bad. Still wonder about the stad measurements. The other complaints are basically the same as the OP. TMO has some bugs, the hogisland can't be picked up on sonar, ect.

With RSRD I spent so much time chasing lone merchants with my deckgun. Too easy and boring. They should make it much more difficult. One hit with a deckgun that puts a hole in your ship should send you back to port.

Harbor raping for points is OK, but lame....I do it. They need to program some idle dd's among the stationary dd's. Just silly a whole fleet sits there why you spend a day sinking them...at least put some roving dd's near by.

Should allow only one refit for torps and fuel, after that...fuel only...both mods.

I'm finding RFB to have the most upcoming promise, not quite as good as TMO yet, but will see after a few patrols. The dd's are easy or I'm just use to TMO's killers.

FORS is great as far as ships and graphics..wish the other mods would include this work.

I think in a few months both mods, if Duc will keep working will be about as perfect as they can get...can't wait for the next env. mod.
