RFB with RSRD ... JANUARY 1941:

I passed within 900 yards of a destroyer in front of his bow heading to one of two carriers in the Bungo Straits. The first carrier one fish for and one fish aft and it sank, second carrier one fish center one fish aft ... it sank. One Heavy Cruiser one fish for and two fish aft and it sank, one Heavy Cruiser one fish center two fish aft and it sank. All listed heavily from the first strikes but kept going until they were hit again. Use all but two fish in a Tambor class boat due to duds and misses.

Two destroyers sank due to collisions with Heavy Cruisers one destroyer escaped.

Initial run was on the surface at night about 0300. Attack ended three hours later. Kept submerged speed at flank to stay with crippled ship while maneuvering away from DC attacks from the surface from two escorts. After two carriers and one Heavy Cruiser was sunk and remaining escort was aft in a search pattern I surfaced and all ahead flank to the crippled Heavy Cruiser.

Passed within 1000 yards before search light came on and they began to fire at us. Ordered periscope depth and fire the fish that finished her off.

+++++++++++

Mod note:

I had issues with reduced speed and battery/fuel issues. I removed the Improved Ships Physics mod and the speed and battery/fuel issue was gone.

For some reason the ISP is reducing the boats speed so that flank is about 8 knots on the surface maybe 12 at best.
