I just added the SH4 1.4 TMO 1.7.6 and found a KAIBOKAN ESCORT added to the Japanese ship roster. Even though it's just a re-worked American Evarts DE, I'm not going to complain. It's better than no kaibokan at all. The only problem I have with it, is it's not very good at detecting my sub. I played the BORNEO CONVOY single mission and noticed none of the Kaibokans I added to the scenario could find me. The Japanese Minekaze destroyer picked me up in normal time and started pinging me right after my torpedos hit, which was about normal when playing the same scenario in the stock setting. The two kaibokans just sailed around in circles, as if searching for me. I sank the Minekaze and even went to flank speed, but never got pinged by either Kaibokan. One even sailed right over the top of me while doing flank speed at 150 feet, and still nothing. Any ideas on how to make the Kaibokans a bit more accurate at detecting a sub? They acted like they had no sonar or hydrophones at all.
