The "training" mission is even worse with megamods and the realistic dud rate. That's right, folks. Have realistic duds and you will be forced to run down a Mogami-Class Cruiser for "training". I have played that training mission with RFB over 20 times and all four fish properly worked once. The other 19 times, I was forced to chase her on the surface, stay in her baffles and be thankful that Mogami's* flight deck is present in place of her former after batteries. If it were any of Mogami's sister ships, the training mission would be impossible if any torpedo duds out because she WILL run from you and a Porpoise class sub submerged is not catching a cruiser who can outrun her even when crippled.


*After brief research, the ship in question is the Mogami, herself. Her sister ships only had partial flight deck conversions and had at least one after battery left while Mogami had a complete flight deck conversion. Historically, she sucked as both cruiser and escort carrier.

EDIT: What the mission doesn't tell anyone is that it is set up for the Fast-90 method. Set Gyroangle to Zero, observe 9-knot destroyer, set torps to high speed, do quick arctangent calc, turn scope to 349 Relative and push red button when she crosses.
