Takes away all fun and suprises (IMHO)

In that it does. I played a few years before I got into the ME, but doing that to mod it. That is the one failure with RSRD, play long enough you know where to go and wait. If you are a fan of history, also easy to get involved in the big battles....

I recall one fun battle and I wasn't looking for it, one night the Shinano came my way. It felt like history. I was able to get a few torps in it and slowed it to 17 kts. It was outside the Bungo. The vet DD's held me down and it got way ahead when the DDs left me to rejoin. I was way behind it, but catching up going through the Bungo, but no doing an end around there. Got picked up on radar and back came one DD. If I dived to avoid the Shinano would escape, so I went to scope depth and did a DTT and hit it, but didn't sink it then. I was able to later due to slow speed and the chase was on. I barely had it on sonar and feared it would despawn as it went through the narrows. Had to dive and flank through there to avoid shore guns, surfaced and chased. Can't remember bases, but it was going through the sea north or Bungo east. I chased, but couldn't get around, but got on the flank. When I got about 20 nms from where it was obviously going to port and despawn, being flank, I fired 10 torps at about 5000 yards and got 2-3 hits. Those slowed it to a dead crawl. The escorts looked but I was far away, reloaded, snuck in to about 3000 yards on the surface and gave it 6 and sunk it.
