Actually not quite right. When I was in Rabaul inlet, to take photo's of two carriers, I was getting hit, minus pings, very easily, down below 250 and on silent and no forward motion. The 'noise' from my sub was quite bad even in that silent state. I anticipated a program error and completely uninstalled SH4 after removing TMO18 but saving saves.

I reinstalled it not too long ago and ran Balao save into Rabual again, but this time without the compatibility on Vista or XP (cant recall right now) and I managed to sit on the bottom with destroyers passing nearby without detection and completed my mission getting to within 7000 yards of the carriers. I then reversed a few hundred yards on dead slow and turned boat to port then forward and hard starboard and was nearly safe when a DD pinged me and came in, so I went down to the bottom again and sat silent and he ran past, so I went back to 1/3 periscope depth and got him to 2 rear torps, then suffaced and ran like hell at flank. Shore batteries were having pot shots at me but only minor damage. I escaped .......
