In all honesty - I say a little too hard for the following reason - once found, its rare a DC session fails to cause enough damage where I have to seriously consider heading to the barn. I have tried the "dive deep and go silent and slow" - which I can head to 250-300 depending on class, get under a thermal, be at silent running doing 2 knots - and still get clobbered on a regular basis. I agree this is reasonable - but too often the drops are too "dead on" shacks - even if I try to dodge at high speed for a moment. Most subs that got DC'd a few times normally were shook but only minorly damaged in most of the cases (of course we are talking the SURVIVORS here). I think that minor damage (accuracy of attack) is more reasonable - but with an increase in the ability of the escorts to hold contact. Most DC sessions that I do escape from are an hour or less at 1x.... Its almost like they either are gonna clobber you - or are blind.... never much of a balance.
If anything - the 2 real issues I have is how easy you are spotted on the surface when at slow speed or dead stopped - especially at night! I can be headed right at a convoy, surfaced and stopped in the dead of night with clear weather - and am spotted 3-5 miles away. Its so dark I cant see the enemy - but by george he can see me! The second is a plane bombing me at 150 ft... I know its POSSIBLE that one might see me - but the possibility is rare - it takes an exceptionally clear water to allow for that. Definitely not every time a plane gets remotely close are they going to see me - or am I somehow underwater and lit up like a neon sign?
Ducimus - any chance you can tell me where I can change this?
Also - let me make it clear - I may sound negative - but I am really thrilled with what TM does and simply are looking to make it PERSONALLY feel more like I think it should. I realize that these thoughts are not the majority, its a personal thing.
And Ducimus - between your work - and that done by the modders that you have incorporated into TM - its one of the best mods out!
