Far as the DD's, well they do dumb things sometimes. Many variables, esp sea state, weather, position on the globe, skill level of individual escorts. I find their incompetence concerning though, although not common in TMO.
Two carriers in four months? That is rather lucky for sure, but Solomons in Aug 42, a lot of carrier activity in those areas, it happens.. No duds o deep runners or premature explosions?

Make it three CV now.
OMG the duds aggravate me so much. I have learned something however. I got lucky and got two of those engineers who tamper with the fish. I'm only using magnetic detectors now not the contact. My dud rate is now maybe 5 out of a boat load. I also use slow speed. High speed set the mags off to easy. Yes I have also had some deep runners which was the primary reason I switched to magnetic detonators. I only get an occasional premature detonation ... ways less when you use a slow speed.
I was in the Tambor and after the Solomon encounter I got a message that damaged ship were at Truk.
I reloaded at Tulagi. Went to Truk. Got a Light CA and another CV anchor in the harbor. Saw the Yamato. Put 13 fish in her. Nothing. Back To Tulagi, back to Truk, back to Yamato put 21 fish in her. The fire was fabulous but no sinking. I rammed it and crashed to desktop LOL I wasn't serious about it I just wanted to test what it might take.
Loving the mod. I did save it before the last Truk run. I'll most likely go back and hit all the CA I found there instead of the Yamato.
