Quick question for ya Lurker...

I was sent to patrol the Marianas-Truk shipping lanes in Jan '44. Just northeast of Chi Chi Jima I picked up two ships on radar. When I closed to visual I couldn't believe my eyes. A Taiho Escort Carrier and a Heavy Crusier!

Anyway as I began the plot I noticed that they both were only doing 5 kts. They also had no destroyer escort. Obviously they were easy pickings.

Did you intend this? Would such high value warships be unescorted in Jan 1944? Why were they only going 5 kts. If I were them I would be zig-zagging at top speed.

Here is my mod list:
REL_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_15B
RSRDC_TMOv15_V371
RSRDC_V371_Patch7
ROW PE3 Install #1
ROW PE3 Install less floater
PE3_1 Sky and reflection controls and textures
PE3_1 Ship_debris_SH4_fixed_with bodies
ROW Sound Effect v_9
NSM4 classic
NSM4 Realistic Torpedo Malfunctions

Thanks in advance.
