I can see being able to penetrate a weakly defended anchorage like Wewak, or even better, a recently captured area, where defenses would be incomplete, but to be able to get into Truk, Rabaul or the like, seems very gamey.

I get my files loaded up soon, I'll let you try my version of RSRD....try Truk harbor then......

One thing I didn't get is why Lurker and Duci for TMO didn't take time to set up proper harbor defenses, just a few random patrols for the bases like Truk.

It can put a lil load on a weak PC, but subs often had to deal with numerous fishing boats. I found by putting in numerous armed fishing boat really helped..because they will call you in if they spot you. Subnets can be tricky, but easy to put them in front of docks and I certainly used them around the west harbor where all the capital ships are docked. Adding a few minefields, lots of searchlights, heavy machine guns and shore guns to cover, you're basically forced to dive trying to come into Truk......and once in, lot's of surprises...
