One thing that helps, if in rough water or calm, but works good for rough is not to use the icon scope keys, rather use the page up/down insert delete...Not at the game, but 2 keys each control each scope. Using those you can adjust the scope by feet. Instead of sending it all the way up, you can adjust it to where you need. Then instead of pulling the scope all the way down, you can just pull it down under the water, so the next look it only takes a few feet to break surface. Saves on time.

Never had that bug if it's a bug...strange.

More important is the time you leave the scope out of the water.

Using RSRD, the hardest battles I ever fight at in Formosa. Many large conboys come through in mid 44 to 45, large ones..you can see some on the convoys thread by me. They run the shallows and are escorted by nothing but type A-d's which carry 6 Y guns, mean ships, one run drops 24 charges, have 3-6 on you, it's hard to survive.

In shallow calm water they will almost always get you, so take long range shots, turn and run like hell. Why they're looking where you were, you can move in the next time for closer shots.

I had some rough water, lil deeper in formosa in the attack i just did. Did OK, but 4 Type AB's got on me and almost sunk me. I didn't think we would get out. Killed almost everyone in the front torp room and others.
