Just my 2 cents, but the point of RUB is to make things more difficult / challenging i thought. Never installed it though as to me it would make the game more of a real work-out thing and with the limited time to play i have available it didn't appeal to me

I'm only running Improved Convoys and Harbour Traffic but in the standard SHIII i've encountered up to 6 escorts so far but never that early in the war.

I have been kept under for almost 3 hours real-time in 1941 by 2 DDs who seemed to be seriously angry with me and i have lost 7 crewmembers to air attacks as well as seriously getting my boat whacked during those attacks.

These DDs once fitted with radar can easily detect you from quite some distance, as a result i hardly ever sent contact reports anymore as it will mean most of the times that a DD will come out to my position to investigate and i will have to sneak out again thus loosing the convoy again.

And silent running, well it's in the game for a reason. It will make the difference between getting depthcharged again or quitly loosing those Brits above....

But wait and see what the RUB users can tell you, but i think the experiences won't be off much.
