The traffic is exactly the same as in earlier versions of the mod. If you think RUb is too populous, there's no less populous alternative that I know of. |
Not saying that it's too populous - it just seemed a bit target rich on my first patrol compared to several of my later ones in my first career with various earlier RUB versions where I would often be lucky to spot and sink one or two ships the whole patrol (Of course, that was later in the war - I had played several stock-game patrols in that first career before discovering RUB)
I did run into a couple of Norwegian steamers on my way home, and wound up my first patrol with 5 enemy ships sunk for a total of about 22,500 tons (missed that last British kleine frachter I was stalking in the storm
)
All in all, a nice introduction to RUB 1.44. Of course - my rookie crew had a hard time keeping the engines running well enough to get us home and my sound man couldn't track contacts for crap toward the end of the patrol (hence the missed kleine frachter), but they're all good lads and I'm sure they'll do better next time out
