I need to go to Tulagi to refit - out of fish and I only have 123000 tons so far this patrol - and I'll check it out more closely when I get back. As far as feeling like a cheat taking out Jap steel in their harbors goes, sneaking in and especially out again is damned risky business.

With TMO 1.9 RSRD 502.
The last version of RSRD most of the ships stayed parked right in front of Truk. The last 3 times I went in all the Capital ships were where all the first marks are, 1-7... Lurker reworked truk harbor for TMO, my guess is that overrode what was there before, thus things are different for Truk with 1.9
If you come in through the shallows where mark 8 is..the normal shipping lane, you won't get them on radar until you get closer up past the mountains, they show up at about the 13.5 mark on radar right as you clear the mountains. Have to remember mountains will block radar.
I believe the SJ1 in 1.9 is 30000 yards, which would be....about 14.9 NM's... Keeping in mind mountains will block radar.
Outside of the reef, not close enough to show, you do have some small openings you can come through more North, but even at the NW small openings at 15 nms they don't pick up on radar. Also, I didn't get any tin cans showing up. Before there was always several Momi DD's. There are some subchasers to the east, but no problems. Easy to come in from the shallows.
Some of the ships like a Fuso are almost next to land. You can dive to scope depth and attack without a problem...easy pickings, a few carriers, the Yamato, Fuso, Several CA's and many dd's...
Has to be the way Lurker changed it up, but almost always before the latest patch all the ships were near Truk with several escorts near the entrances, now they stay hidden behind the mountains and few escorts.
