As for the Toro Maru, are you seeing a tanker, or the Auxilary Cruiser? Your earlier posts mention the auxilary cruiser, but like I say, there aren't that many in the mod. I've got a commitment this morning, and when we get home later, I'll start another Manila career and "test" as rapidly as I can. Probably the only way to survive is to avoid contact  else I"ll get sunk... Which boat did you start with, and what was your first assignment, or where were you when you saw the first Toro? Where were the others?
I'll also do some more "playing" of the files in the ME simulator. Maybe there is a certain Toro that has your name on it, and it's just following you around...  - but seriously, the mod uses the ole "use 'em at least twice" trick of routing a ship or convoy all over the South Pacific, hitting all of the ports-of-call, so it can stand-in for three groups.  |
For the escorts, best is to wait for bad sea. We stand very good chance to escape when sea is rough
It seems they have real hard time to detect you with waves. That’s good.
Calm sea, DDs are very tough.
No tanker with the Toros...just the same big cargo every time that i forgot the name.
Or alone...I met one just at the exit of North Surabaya bay...end of January 42.
All the Toros were in Java sea or around.
My sub is Porpoise from Manila start. I love this sub BTW. More challenging than big ones, but better than S class.
I sunk the first Toro when approaching Surabaya at the end of first patrol.
The others were at the second patrol from Surabaya (had to patrol a spot in Java sea)
Hope that helps
