Cutting out the extra escorts is all good and well, but I'm not so sure about cutting
all of the contact report percentages back to 95%. Early war, yes, intel on Japanese naval movements was very scarce, but by 1944 it was a totally different story. I have mine set up as follows:
-1941: 10%
-1942: 20%
-1943: 25%
-1944: 33%
Granted, I've not done a whole lot of testing with these numbers yet, but so far, they, along with the Fewer Radio Contacts mod, have worked out fairly well.
