Well, a final report on the game using GFO. These findings may or may not be GFO related but they are definite fixes that need to be addressed at some point, if possible.
Still way too many planes where they shouldn't be, meaning too far from land and no aircraft carriers in the area. There appears to be a zone, just west of the Bonin Is. In my patrol zones the planes were practically non-existent, then when I was trying to get home, that's where some major problems popped up, which one of was too many planes spawning from one direction, then like an hour (game time) from the other direction. That's just plain ridiculous. I just ignored them as they never saw me anyway, but the constant radar reporting on the same contact and dropping me out of tc just totally took me out of the game.
Another thing was way too many sub hunting task forces, especially along the same route going back to PH. Just west of the Bonin Is. If it wasn't planes, it was a task force. And once again, the constant radar reports on the same targets. I tried turning the radar off from the radar station and the menu bar, but it kept turning itself on! Who's in charge here anyway??
And the same thing when I got in friendly waters, constant air and ship contacts, taking me out of tc every few seconds!! That's a real deal killer for me. Do we really need constant radar contacts of friendly forces?? I don't think so. You want to tell me once, ok, but once is enough. It was a nightmare just trying to get close enough to the base so the icon would show up for me to end the patrol.
And my previous findings of the hydrophones not working manually in the Tambor and Gato. That really should be looked into as well.
Time for some shore leave!
