Shore batteries are very dificult to spot. They usually spot you, before you see them. Even coming into port, the lookouts don't spot them at friendly bases until we're almost on top of them. Which should be the norm, as they were usually hidden well for defensive purposes.

Sailing into and out of Tokyo Bay is tricky. There are shore batteries on both banks of the inlet. Two or three on the N/E side and one or two on S/E side. You must be surfaced some of the time, or the battery will drain. On the surface or at decks awash, the shore batteries will eventually locate your boat. If you are decks awash and at a depth where the batteries are charging, you can usually submerge without being hit once the shore batteries open fire. I sail on the surface with TC set at no greater than 4 as long as I can, and then move to decks awash. When shells start splashing around the boat from shore batteries, I go to periscope depth. If they hit my boat, I turn around, run away, and live to fight another day. If I run at periscope depth to avoid the shore batteries ultimately I am forced to the surface due the drained battery, and the shore batteries, if you are in still in range, will have a field day.
I do not think the game has a way for the crew to spot the shore batteries. Once a shore battery opens fire, however, you know its position for furture patrols, as its postion does not change. |

Yep, I try to avoid narrow passages if at all possible. Especially places like that. The north end of Honshu, the straits between there and Hokkaido are nasty to get through too. I try to wait for heavy fog, and or rain to get through narrow points like that.

Any time I had to head to Tokyo or Hiroshima I normally wait for bad weather conditions, mainly fog.
I have had to hang out close to bay entrance in fairly safe area as much as a couple weeks game time waiting for favorable conditions. Once Fog sets in, you can almost run all the way to destination on surface at night. |

@ Ducimus: TMO 2.5 is the better Christmas gift for the SH4 SubSim community. I´m downloading it now...
I see the YouTube video (Environment), looks awesome! My only preoccupation is: "Trigger Maru is not compatible with any large modpack, to include enviromental mods. Exception to this is any version of RSRD made specifically to be compatible the latest version of TMO. All other large mod packs are NOT compatiable. The reason is, many large modpacks deal with the same files, and alot of unexpected results will occur." I use RSRDC with TMO 22 without problems. Is TMO 25 compatible with RSRDC, or need (this mod), some modification? Many many thanks and Merry Christmas! ![]() ![]() ![]() Best regards. Fitzcarraldo ![]()

Dang it! And I'm only at May 3rd 1943 on my present career! Oh well, I'll just have to wait. Downloading now, although this michrowave wireless setup, isn't much better than the old 56k modum
![]() Thanks Ducimus for the excellent Christmas gift!
