No, RSRD not compatible with my mod, as it will 'break' numerous changes,etc . Honestly, RSRD is not needed with the TMo update as I did a extensive rework of the campaign layers, inspired by RSRD. RSRD is a great mod but has been some time since it was updated and showing its age, plus it nerfs the AI of TMO . I have added many ships , planes etc. as well
Shipping in campaign changes based on time period...example in 1941-1942 there are not a number of convoys...a lot more single merchants and sea lanes are not as well defined. Then there are historic contacts, which spawn only once at historic/date time, take historic route to destination and arrive.
Mid 1943 convoys become more common and unescorted vessels become uncommon, and almost non existent by 1944, a few are there, esp in coastal areas. Sea lanes become more defined. In 1945, traffic thins out and what major convoys there are run in coastal areas, often stopping at night, sailing only in daytime. This reflects the real life changes Japan made, although a but too late.
The task force layers have been completely reworked. Much like RSRD, the major capital ships only move in the game at historic dates and times, so no more alliedesqueijn convoys roaming the ocean randomly. The major and some minor battles are scripted as well. I have a second update coming out in January, which further refines the mod and traffic.
