Where is the japanese navy?

[fvd]

Hi,

I'm running the latest versions of TM and RSRD.
It's great but i am wondering why there are no warship encounters and no task forces? (untill now, playing my eight' patrol)
Also, i don't get any missions which order me to attack an enemy task force, i should think these were realistic mission objectives once planes (or intel-reports) spot these ships, no?

Thanks and regards,
fvd

I can not speak of TM but I can for RSRD. I have seen, been advised and attacked task forces plenty of times. I run RFB with RSRD.

If you go into the Mission Editor you can see where all of the contacts are by year, be it Merchant, Convoys, Task Forces, etc. However, because the campaign has been modified you will get a lot of ship not found messages when opening the editor, just hit ok a bunch of times, eventually you will get in.

When there, go to the campaign folder and select the group/year you want to see movement for. The groups are there in TM, they are just harder to find, sort of the opposite of stock.

If you encounter a TF and surfaced just lock onto a ship or two, radio in to command and in a short while surfaced or not you'll see a message with orders on the TF. That's the only time I get orders to attack a TF.

Hi RDP,

If you say "opposite of stock" i wonder which is the most realistic, TM or stock?
Maybe something in between would be nice?
Anyway, i still think that some missions which orders you to attack task forces would give a realistic effect and also would make it a bit more "thrilling" and exiting instead of seeking freighters al the time.

But hey, this is no critics because i love these mods and i respect the hard and difficult work it took to make them!

To get missions to attack task forces, install RSRD. I know for a fact that starting in Cavite and using the porpoise, you will be sent north right into a task force heading to Manilla. Lurker has added so much immersion from RL happenings including clipboard messages of convoys and task forces. Try it. You will love the mod. TM does some traffic changes but nothing touches Lurkers RSRD.

Stock is def. not realistic, I know it can be sometimes frustrating to find stuff, but that was the life of a WWII Skipper. At least we can pause the game or hit save then go do something else :p
