Well, I'm underway in my second patrol--this time to the Eastern China Sea. I'm not there yet--but I've already sunk a few merchant vessels with my deck gun and one torpedo. I haven't been "challenged" yet by any escorts, or even merchants changing their course, or zig-zagging. It is the beginning of the war--but it seems pretty darn easy to get tonnage--so I'm wondering if I've just been lucky so far--or if I need to "pull the trigger" on Trigger Maru--which, from what I can surmise, makes things a little more realistic, and more difficult. Or should I just try a few more patrols without it--and expect things to get harder?

I'm not an expert by any means! I do have some time in SH3, manually launch torpedos, no map updates, etc. Werner's (SP?) videos were a great help in getting me up and running with manual control in SH4.

I just don't want it to be TOO difficult lol, if I try Trigger Maru. :hmm:

EDIT: now I'm seeing another mod, Run Silent, Run Deep--and wondering if I should try that one?!
