Five DD's down...June 1944

On the mod I am building, I have made it so player can attempt to replicate USS Harder's outstanding 5th war patrol off Tawi Tawi in June 1944 by putting the appropriate DD's in Sibutu Pass and off Tawi Tawi. Dates and times are historically correct as well(such as tanker convoy passing through sibutu pass on night of June 6).I missed the convoy that Harder attacked on June 6th (and sunk one of her escorting DD's) due to my patrol not starting until June 1, could not make it the area in time but soon located two DD's patroling Sibutu Passage on morning of June 8, sank them both via track angles.Then off Tawi Tawi the next evening, ambushed one , then took out the other with a down the throat shot.Another DD in the area arrived on scene 10 minutes later, sunk herwith another down the throat shot while a plane from Tawi Tawi dropped bombs and strafed my scope.Sometimes, this sim is too much fun.
