Just wanted to say thanks for this amazing mod, with FOTRS, I've gone through a career from 42 all the way to the end of the war, at a tonnage of 960,000 I've had some exceptional failures, but each time was a learning experience, between sneaking into Truk and taking out a carrier from under the Japanese's noses, avoiding escorts and snagging a cruiser, or even bagging the Yamato. (Took all of my torpedoes tho
)
Not to go on a tangent, but my favorite part of the game was that I didn't feel like the only US combatant, unlike in vanilla where it's you against the IJN, rather there's at times a plethora of Allied support, won't ever forget hitting a large convoy right outside of Rabual, diving to avoid the escorts, only to hear explosions on the surface; P40's and Catalinas! Laden with bombs they ruthlessly sent many a ship to the bottom, and distracted the escorts long enough I was able to get back to periscope depth and and send the remaining escorts to the bottom
Even after the convoy had been sunk, I spent the entire day searching and rescuing the downed airmen who were all over the area, and drifting in high seas, not gonna lie, I had a kind of attachment to my allies who most likely saved my bacon.
That experience alone is something I don't think I could ever experience in vanilla. Thank you.
