TMO Update BH V2.0
cams and contacts off.

Scrapped previous career and did new install of TMO and SH 4, running much better now with interiors mod.

USS Cisco SS-290 (Balao) en route to assigned area B4 in South China Sea after departing Brisbane on 12 September and stopping at Darwin 19 September for refuel.

Night of 23/24 September entered Sibutu Pass to enter Sulu Sea.
While West of Tawi Tawi in the pass, made two SJ contacts. Judged to be a patrol, began evasion on surface but was detected, possibly by radar and soon two DD's were in view. Unable to outrun them, went to GQ, turned into them and submerged, rigging for silent running and depth charge.

9 hours and 15 minutes later....still being pinged, hunted, depth charged. One aft torpedoman is listed as "broken" when aft torpedo room took on some water. Currently at 650 ft. About four hours in, two more warship contacts arrived in area, presumably from Tawi Tawi and joined the hunt. At nine our mark, lost contact with two of pursuers, believe are "sleeping:, listening for me. I am up way too late lol, figured this would have ended hours ago. Most persistent escorts have ran into in a while. Given they are DD's and ASW patrol, most likely set to Elite and the time period, now have radar, latest sonar gear etc. Rough ride....
