After an awesome encounter south of Davao, managed to sink an heavy cruiser with my Sargo.
It was a group of destroyers escorting kind of small passenger ships and small cargos with an heavy cruiser in the front of convoy...At least 10 ships.
Fired 4 bow torp, 4 hits but 3 duds...the cruiser almost stopped from 16 knots to 3, but didn’t sink.
Managed to fire 4 stern torp to him, again 4 hits but again 3 duds!
After short time, he finally exploded and sunk.
I was never annoyed by destroyers searching me with kind of laziness...
They didn’t spot my periscope fully raised for minutes at 1000m of target (kind of forced to keep the locking) and didn’t even hear me going full speed for escape and second attack.
It seems my sonar man could hear contacts only above thermal layer, but was completely deaf below...with plenty ships 2000m radius.
I love the way ships behaved, without turning on a dime nor with crazy stop/acceleration.
BUT my sub has a crazy inertia like the Queen Elisabeth passanger ship!
Takes ages to stop even submerged...don’t think it’s normal.
Had great fun with FOTRSU, and at least an SH4 mod with life everywhere!
No need to spend weeks on sea without seeing a single boat...i love that.
Also I love the weather changes randomness, the sounds, the sea rendering, the sub rendering etc...
Only some fine tuning on destroyers needed, and sub sensors also to make it perfect.
