So last night I decided, against most of the published advice, to uninstall all mods and reinstall same. Most of the guidance in the forum says to only do this when in port or at the start of a new campaign. If it hadn't worked, that's what l would have started because this was way too agro.
But it worked. As stated above, I've been assigned to patrol the southern Marshalls which are deader than midnight in a cemetary. I mean we went two and a half hours, about a month of game time, without sighting a thing except aircraft patrols. Then our first ship contact occurred at night in a storm so dense I could hardly see the bullnose. We tracked the target by radar and fired on the sonar solution. Since everything we've seen in this area has been of the 1800 ton coaster variety, I wasn't inclined, on a dicey solution, to fire more than one fish which missed, but no sign of any evasion on the target's part. Then a few days later south of Kwajalein in broad daylight we sank a 4,000 ton freighter after a conventional periscope approach with no zigzagging by the target despite us having to use a two-thirds bell to make the firing point.
So it seems like something got screwed up during the last in port period when I found and installed the TMO small patch which I hadn't been able to find previously.

You'll find that if you stick to the classics, you won't desensitize yourself enough to care if the graphics suck.
gi dan, if you like the older classic games, I very strongly recommend Roma Surrectum II (RSII) which is a makeover mod to the original RTW which was my favorite TW game. In fact RSII is the reason I was away from SH for two years. It modifies game play, graphics, factions, almost everything that's not hard coded in the original. If you play as Rome, you acquire the ability to recruit 28 individual named and numbered legions who have their own unique uniforms, shield patterns and insignia. It's very immersive. In fact there have been a lot of RSII players who tried the new R2TW and have returned disgusted back to RSII.
