I have also worked extensively on the 1945 traffic since to be more historical but also provide targets for players. For example, in 1945 organized traffic along the pacific coast of japan was almost non existent. However, a small 1500 ton merchant would ride the coast under escort from several surface vessels and air patrols (more escorts than merchants left). This necessitates player to patrol closer to shore submerged in daylight with occasional radar sweeps. Forces into some tough choices and a lot of risk. Could be the only good chance have to shoot on the patrol, to attack, let it go back try to surface for end around while dodging patrols and opt for night surface attack etc. Close to shore have to worry about shore batteries, mine fields. etc. I've made it a challenge, still tuning it up.

Second, I plan to Tench to New Construction in 1944 if possible with revamp of the training missions.

be sure to do the same with all of the equipment that goes with the Early Tench.

Good luck!
