I get plenty of contact reports....many within what ought to be and has been before, easy intercept range.
Weather not a factor its the same from fair with no or little winds to heavy weather.
Diving doesn't help...I can't make sonar contact with any targets...even when I race around to get ahead of a convoy, then dive and listen.
Now then.. I've played this patrol through 3 times!!!. It has been the same each time. I even left the patrol zone and headed to and stood off Tokyo Bay and to the Guadacanal theater. Same thing..can't intercept a single solitary enemy vessel. Plenty of patrol planes though.
It seems the sim is trying to tell me something but danged if I know what it is.  Any ideas?
So I headed back to Hawaii and ended the patrol. I'm starting a new one latter today to see if the "spell" has been broken.
I did save this ill-fated patrol in case someone can provide me with the basis for an epiphany.  In which case I'll do 'er again. |
Believe it or not, I'm doing this exact same patrol as you, matter of fact I finished my session and about to go to bed. I can't intercept a darned thing either. Lots of stuff appearing around me, but I ran to get into a good position for the intercept and ... nothing comes by.
I was starting to think the other guys have an enormous telescope packed on to the leading escort which can somehow see over the horizon, but I'm glad to know it isn't only me.
