I may pick up some of these habits but have tried to constrain myself thus far to doing some stuff because that is what they really did. So I only dive during the day when in the range of known airfields. It seems they also kept moving most of the time so I have resisted the urge to sit in one spot especially from what I have read SH4 uses the same fuel whether you are going 10kts or something under. Not sure about all stop though. Have to check that out this weekend.

I would like to do more night surface attacks but at least using RFB I don't seem to be able to keep from getting detected inside two or three thousand yards and they almost never shot at a target farther away than that.

I think I am on the verge of just developing a strategy that works well for the game and reality be damned. Real world tactics just don't seem to be modeled well enough by the game to be successful. That pushes me back to pondering whether that should effect whether I run RFB or TMO. Maybe it is time I just did a separate install for each. I know I have found myself playing SH3 a lot more lately and SH4 less. I must find a way to get back into the mood of my eye candy laden SH4 because I miss watching sunset/sunrise and such.
