RFB career
I have tried RFB. After playing TMO I found that it was too easy to evade the dds in RFB. That tells me that attacks lack as high a degree of risk in RFB. I like the risk and challenge of tyring to outwit the dds in TMO. Plus, one way or another, after a successful attack on a convoy or TF in TMO you usually have deal with them. It puts your whole career at risk, so you cannot be asleep at the wheel. If RFB, and for that matter, FOTRS, had dds with a tougher AI, I would try them again. It has been over a year since I gave them up.
My technique for approaching a convoy or TF in TMO is to come in under the thermal layer, let the lead dd pass, come to periscope depth, fire torps, and sneak or run away. I have never got the hang of Armistead's "end around" technique. Each time I have tried it, my boat has been sunk.
