we were not detected but the TF/Convoy would act idiotic and nonsensical once it spawned and i was in the general area. i do not think it detected us because it did not send escorts our way, but they just dip-s#itted around, accomplishing no headway to wherever it was they were supposed to be headed. it made our attack planning very difficult because there was no way to predict where they would be.

they are not all like that but that behaviour seems to be unique to this release of FOTRSU because i have not seen it previously in Stock or any of the other mega-mods. that's an observation and not a criticism. we can still sink them even as they dip-s#it around, it just takes more time to accomplish.


Performed 3 more reloads. This time I was targeting Kuma on the side of the convoy. sank her 3 times On first attempt, I was lucky and hit 3 different Troop ships before they reached shallow waters, none sunk. On second just 1 or 2, one of them took torp midships and another aft. graphics shown both propellers and rudder broken off, yet the ship still kept enough speed to keep up with convoy and so managed to escape, even though water was over railings on cargo decks bow and aft. On third I hit just 1 Troop transport, but it looked well - ship was heavily listing had fires over boat deck and one engine knocked out while second was barely moving. managed to overtake it before shallows and as torp was about to finish it...CTD
