Tokyo Bay

How do I go inside the bay without being spotted? 4 times I try to go in, but always sunk by the harbor patrols, including one of my creations.

No real subs ever went there, so I'd not bother trying

It's a photo recon mission in my career, been playing stock except a few tweaks that I made.

Are you submerged ? ... or our you just floating across the top of the water in broad daylight ?, do you try to travel on the surface at night ? and below during the day? I have done that mission several times got sunk once , and got some big holes in me another, but the other couple went rather well. Stay away from shore battery's, try to travel on top only at night. and stick close to the bottom (which isn't hard, it's shallow) during the day. and you'll be fine.

Good Luck,

There's a couple of those "far-fetched" missions which IMHO are historically out-of-whack and on the whole didn't make sense. In the stock version I basically ignored them. The mods such as TM, RSRD make things a little more realistic.

Getting in is not the problem. It's having enough battery to make it out after you're there that's the problem.

Submerge early enough at the mouth and hug the bottom at 2nm, You will not be able to surface the entire trip, so make sure yer batteries are full.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Yes, I'm submerged and below the water during the day and up during the night. I do stay away from shore guns, but everytime I go to Tokyo Bay, I always get there when it is daylight. But my plans have been foiled by harbor patrols, including a Yamato laden with lots of DCs.

Heep your speed at 2 knots or less. Keep track of the patrol vessals and take note how long they take to make a complete loop of their patrol area, you can then splip past when their elsewhere.

Also aim to enter just as night falls and have a full battery. Stay doggo on the bottom if during daylight hours if your worried about moving during daylight!

Best of luck
