It's worth it to note that that "passionate guy" about the ridiculous number of torpedoes to sink things says in at least one case fired 5 torpedoes... but not all at once. If I remember correctly shooting 1 torpedo an hour for 5 hours is different than 5 torpedoes hitting inside 60 seconds. Also I never got info on whether the torpedo hits were spread out or not.
And as I recall in 1.52 attacking any target that hadn't been given the "magic touch" or a proper flooding model was absolutely frustrating to deal with as I'm sure that invincible jap CVL was.
Did RFB2.0 include the RCM Imperial radar mod? I had a version that was merged with 1.52's files and I was wondering if I should do that again for 2.0.
It looks like the fog is pretty universally called out for being too aggressive, especially if the weather algorithm is still so eager to hand out lesser visibilities as in stock. I hope it gets resolved.
I can't wait to wade back into SH4 and provide some passionate, constructive feedback.
