Trigger Maru or RFB?

Real Fleet Boat is one of the best mods for any game, ever (even though I disagree with some of the Beery's decisions).

Trigger Maru is OK as well, but I for one don't like enhanced destoyer sensors and AI. The truth of the matter is IJN ASW was very poor, and destroyers in ASW escort role were relatively rare up to mid 44. In IJN doctrine destroyers were meant to fight and die honorably, not spend the war doing lowly convoy escort service.

There are other ways to make the game challening and realistic, but upping the DD AI and sensors IMO should not be one of them (god knows how RFB, especially with ultra weak deck guns and super-buggy torpedos in the last release can be *frustrating*)

My advice - try RFB but since you're torpedo n00b leave torpedo targetting on automatic.
