From TMO 2.2 on, Ducimus adjusted the planes, so that in the early part of the war, they can't spot you too well if you take the boat deep.

Later in the war, ........................ well, lets just say, they will harass the snot outta you if they know your general location. Especially in 1945. I shoot down as many planes per patrol as ships I sink, just because of their incessant doggedness of keeping you bottled up. And they are just as obnoxious at night as they are in the day. In fact, I have had more aircraft problems in the later war years from night air attacks, than daylight attacks. So I tend to change my strategy to more daylight ops than night ops.

One thing that I have heard, but can't confirm it, is that RFB keeps to the stock thing of your boat getting destroyed if you go passed test depth redlines. Not sure if that was ever dealt with, but TMO, you can really take the Gato and Balao boats down deep. Will they crush? Sure. At what depth? Well, just like the real boats, if you find out your crush depth, you won't be going back to base to brag how deep you were able to take the boat.

As far as I know, TMO is the only mod that incorporates this. If I am mistaken, my apologies to the modders for a misconception, in advance.

And yes, the DDs are a bit tougher in TMO than other mods, and one well placed DC, will really ruin your day! So be ready to run really deep! And really silent! But knowing how the escorts operate, is a big plus. Are they listening, or actively pinging? They can only do one or the other. Not both. So get to knowing how to counter both, and you can lots of fun! Spent 4 hours last night getting DCed. Lots of fun that was!
