I entered during the night from the south side of the atoll, since there's a small deep spot there, then went northwest into the fleet anchorage area. Sank a Hiryu carrier, and a Yamato BB that were there. Went in with 21 torpedos and came out with 3. I fired 4 bow tubes at the Hiryu and sank her first, then lined up the stern to shoot the Yamato. 3 of the 4 torpedos in that salvo went off prematurely, so I disabled the magnetic pistols on all the rest of my shots. I had to reload a couple of times to get it done, so I was in there long enough to do that, and had 3 premies, but nothing ever moved the whole time, no sound contacts at all, just radar. It's now early Nov. '42 and I'm in the Gudgeon (SS-211), refit with the '42 tower version. Actually I was a bit disappointed that it was so easy, though pleased with my tonnage total, which is now over 90k for this patrol, which I started just in late October of '42. Sank a Conte Verde liner after running an intercept on its convoy before I went to Truk. At any rate I got clear of the atoll before dawn, and saw only a search plane while making my way to Tulagi to rearm the boat.

Please say whether or not you were running RSRDC, cause if it's gonna be that easy to get in and out of there with the basic campaign in TMO, I'm probably not gonna go back, LOL!

It's that easy, regardless of TMO or RSRD. Bout the only thing is a few sub chasers that you can easily ignore. Haven't tried Travs mod yet, but it should make it harder.
