I'm wondering if it's the TC then. All goes well as long as I keep the TC at 64 or less for short periods. Last time, I got close enough to the target area that I had snuck past both destroyers and had them in my rear view mirror so to speak, so I pushed the TC to 256 for about 3 seconds and BAM! that's when I was hit.

I don't have any mods installed, BTW. Although I do have a few questions about what mods might be good.

First, I want the best updated graphics I can get. I also want the most realistic AI behavior (without giving the AI god-like omniscience.) I've seen mods for some games that simply made the game harder for the sake of being harder. The competence of the Jap escort crews were hit and miss. Some were frighteningly efficient at their jobs and others were very poor at finding the enemy at all. Some randomness in this regard would be excellent.

I don't mind harder if it's realistic. As I said, I'm pretty accomplished 688(i) vet, but still trying to figure out the idiosyncrasies with SHIV.

Is there a gauge mod or anything that shows your exact current course at a glance? Right now if I want my exact course, I have to measure it on the nav map or try to estimate it based on the tiny heading compass.

Any mods that aid in manual TDC determination would also be of interest.

What do you suggest?
