Seas are either too empty - or too crowded

thats typical for the rsrdc mod because it removes all non historic traffic and is the mod that changes how many ships you see or dont see

when using the rsrdc mod you must go to where the ships are or you wont see any so look at the shipping routes for the correct time period and look there for your ships and you will have enough ships to shoot at or just play the game without the rsrdc mod

it is a good mod for realism but if you want a good supply of target oportunities over wide areas then dont use it

Thanks for the response!

Just a message in a bottle in case anyone else has this problem - it turned out that the problem was, as mentioned in some posts here that I found by using 'search', is that, at least at the start of the war, your crew is very bad at detecting contacts. Thankfully, my PC is fairly old

, so I can use the cheat of running at 512X with the chronometer up, and when it jerks to a halt I can then use sonar myself. I hate to use cheats like this, but otherwise the game is basically unplayable

.

Thanks again Webster - also, I take it by the deafening silence that indeed you _can't_ edit the label on a mark, which is too bad.

i never looked into editing it but i think part of the lack of response on that is that not many people thought about it so it may not be a well known thing.

also this isnt the most widely viewed forum area so try reposting your question in the sh4 mods forum, it gets way more thrafic than this general forum because most people are only looking for mods or mod info
