Also, i would like to ask you if i can increase the difficulty of the japanese destroyers. I want their depth charges to have more accuracy, be able to find me out easier or something like that...
I noticed the ships disappear also but I switch to the attack map at that close range. You get a white line for the ship. As far as tougher destroyers. Peto has just reworked these files. The DD are nastier. If you happen to find yourself under enlite DD kiss your next three hours goodbye attempting to get away. You may last as little as a minute.

One of Peto's reports on the beta in test:

Quote:
Conclusion:
1. Quite a show. Worst time I ever had evading (record was just under 6 hours).
2. That's the 2nd time in a week Akizuki's have given me so much grief. They seem worse somehow...
3. If I could have gone deeper, I confident I could have shaken them sooner. Even to 350 would have made a huge difference as it would have widened their search radius to reaquire me...
4. The question as to whether I am invisible when silent running has been answered. Going to 1/2 knot was the only thing that saved my bacon.
5. the initial attack was VERY fun and Difficult. escaping with no damage was a combo of skill and luck.
6. If they had been with a convoy, they wouldn't have stuck around so long. At least one would have left. the other could have been eluded fairly easily then.
7. Sonar conditions were Perfect for them. It should have been hard for me.
8. Discovering that going to 1/2 knot makes a difference was a good thing. I'll be using that in the future.
9. this was the most gruelling prolonged attack I've experienced.
10. It was a Bitch.

The beta should be in the next installment of RFB that is coming very soon.
