March 20th, 1942... Carriers/Big assed Cruisers anybd?

commandosolo2009 · 01-05-11, 09:59 AM

Hello skippers,

My only accomplishments so far after 3 patrols was a lousy 53,044 GRT, from a handful of merchants, only real contributor, was a Large Modern Tanker, grossing 10000 tonnes. I need intel as to where to find the bigger fish, like Cruisers, Conte Verde, Carriers, etc. I cant approach Tokyo without a CTD, nor could I perform a port raid on a crowded area (Marina). I need a secluded position, where I could possibly hunt down carriers. I do note that carriers have the most distinguished sound in the whole game, but the question of finding them is a tick on my fur!!!!

Anybd? Is there an official intel source for these big fishes? like, say, microsoft flight simulator insight insert that comes along with the box?

53,044 tons?

(Source: Unrestricted Warfare , Appendix 2)

That puts you as the 17th top scorer in the war.

If you have TMO 2.0- 2.1 go to Truk Lagoon there is always an aircraft carrier there. I did a raid there on the 13-14 September 1942, there was 1 Fleet Carrier, 1 Furutaka Heavy Cruiser, 1 Takao Heavy Cruiser, 1 Naka Light Cruiser, 3 Kuma Light Cruisers, and 2 DD's. Listed by tonnage. I also did a raid on Kobe thanks to an chance photo reco mission to Osaka. Found 1 Kongo Battleship, 3 Fleet Carriers, and 1 Heavy Cruiser.
