Elite escorts.TMO/RSRD

I keep playing with the escorts ratings. Amazing how much this effects them, deadly suckers at rating 4.

Anyone explain this, do the visuals and sensors remain the same for those values or change when you change crew ratings?

Is there anyway to change all the ratings in each group instead of one at a time with notepad?

Do the ratings have much effect on large capital ships, seems they repair faster and takes more torps to sink em?

Can't remember the time limit for TMO or if RSRD effects it concerning how long they will search after they lose contact, seems
around 30 minutes. Doe's ratings effect this limit, if not where do you find the values to keep them searching longer?

I added several sub killer groups to RSRD. I found one in Formosa and decided to try it out. It included the DD with 8 Y guns by Ducimas, two Matsu DE's and a Momi. They came at me from about 6nms or so, I was running away and had to dive when they started shooting from 10,000 yards..love the change. It's amazing how a group of 4 elite escorts tactics are totally different, almost like they work together. They all attack, do side by side runs, attack from angles, but worse they seem to know when to drop charges. I often use flank in deep water to outrun charges, but those suckers will drop far in front.

Anyway, drop patterns are pretty good. Ole Bungo sure is deadly with a group, in one run the first blast seems to be 15 charges, goe's another few seconds blast another 4, then 8, then lots of rear drops. I can't get a sure count on the number dropped in one pass, but about 30 per pass. Are the amount of charges dropped always the same with each pass?

Here's the group working me. One making a pass, the other coming in from an angle.

One listening, others working

Duc, you bastard...

Just got under this group, the bow flood helped to get me down quicker
