Dec 3 '41 Patrol

TheOx · 01-17-09, 06:36 PM

Wheres a good place to go for this patrol? All I can ever find is US ships, and I'm not heading into a harbor just yet. Any tips?

Am I reading right? 3 Dec 41 (4 days before Pearl Harbor attack). There's no "enemy" ships at this time so no wonder you're only seeing US ships, LOL.

Awesome, I ask for tips and I get 3 chuckleheads who don't realize by the time you're on station in the Marshalls its roughly December 18th.

Anyone out there with a clue, I've tried in between Guam and Truk with no sightings other than US traffic, no sightings of the invasion fleet at Wake, etc. I ended up eliminating some undefended merchant traffic tied up in the harbor at Saipan.

I'm running RFB 1.4 atm, will have to try the RSRDC add-on you mentioned for more realism.

At the beginning of the war, is the Asiatic posting or the Pearl posting more beneficial? Havent tried starting as Asiatic yet, but I imagine its around Manila or Singapore so a shorter trip to Japanese Home Islands. Imagine it could be quite hairy at war start though. Suggestions are welcome. Trying to play full real with "dead is dead".

It would be kind of neat if you could in fact intercept the carrier task force headed towards Pearl and call it in then be given the order to attack.
