Basically making some adjustments to sensors and if needed will adjust max operating depths accordingly, which inherently in TMO have a higher threshold due to the need to go deeper and deeper but becomes highly unrealistic. Goal is so that, especially in mid to later war don't have have to go to 550 feet every time evade a escort to have a chance of escaping. Of course, trying to keep the AI a challenge as well, find that balance.
With this and balance have found on depth charges and new damage model, should finally have things worked out but am lacking some key information. Thansk in advance.
