I am "attacking" a convoy of tankers escorted by 5 DD's. They charge my periscope at midnight from a mile away. Their attacks are laser guided: no lurking on the surface trying to retain initiative is possible here. I launched 3 cuties and after 10 minutes bagged one destroyer. It did not improve my situation.
I am the hunted here, they are the hunters. I have shot 4 cuties to bag one DD of five and don't have enough left to kill enough more to make the difference. Down the throat shots with Mark 23s have not worked as well as patch 1.3 and I missed with the one I wasted there. I'm thinking I am foolish for engaging in a fair fight when my goal is to sink merchies.
I am using Trigger Maru with RSRD and NSM. I think my frustration is not only very different from your experience, it is kinda realistic! Prior to RSRD it was very difficult to return from a cruise with less than 40,000 tons. Now I have 50 tons from one DD and a sub that's 5 torps light. Welcome to paradise!
