Drumbeat? Whose Drum?

Well what is it 8 months after getting the sim , finally went on a campaign drumbeat mission (2nd Happy Time)

I have done one or two single missions (my own) just to see, though this was before I heavily modded the game.

Just had my most frustrating patrol. Started out ok oh I solved my save game bug...after the long trip ended up near the mouth of the Hudson ... well close being 100km away. Shallow water...weather bad, light fog and wind missed some ships (picked out the contacts easily enough and figured out the lanes they use) thanks to crappy visibility, hydrophones seemed to be useless in the bad weather and shallow water. Did manage to track and sink a Liberty ship and a small tanker. Then the weather went to ****, rain and heavy fog so I stood off in deep water.

Then a Clemson and a Evart found me and pounded me in the rain. Hwo the hell did they pinpoint me? Did Evarts serve in February 42? Did they have radar? I had a hard time evading them, two dead and a heavily damaged boat. NO way after 4 patrols should I have had more trouble with USN escorts than British escorts...the Brits always seemed to be sleeping.

This sim seems to still have some problems. I am using RuB 1.45, HT 1.46 and SH3 Commander 2.3
