This is not new I have had the same issue in previous titles. Nothing like seeing the looming ship suddenly appear in front of you while chugging along at flank

I didn't ignore ignore him, I did check the horizon and looked for contacts on the map. I figured that okay, they may be warships far away, but I'll be fine. I was used to DD's being blind and dumb as hell, and didn't figure that upping realism would make them that dangerous.

It wasent the realisim it was the time compression.

There are a dozen or so threads around about sudden death syndrome.

I doubt you were out foxed by the Ai as by the many reports its rather thick or just blind. That’s why I hate what I’m reading, if I’m killed I want to know that it was a poor move or decision on my side and great move on the enemy with its response.

I’d not trust the Game at all. Loved the guy blowing up the CV with one shot on the other thread. Doubt it would happen IRL back in the war.

Does that super mod for SHIII improve the Ai response as I’m hopping the Mods can correct the game by the end of the year. I plan a SHV Xmas……

The problem, far as I can tell, is just as much that your crew very inconsistently report contacts and sightings. I'm working on the River Mayhem mission at the moment, and it's far from a given that you get the "Contact, freighter, bearing this, range that" or "Ship sighted at bearing this, range that" messages when they see something. Just as often the time compression drops to 32 with no explanation at all.

Particularly irritating when you have map contacts disabled, and the "sonar guy" doesn't have the ability to give you a Bearing to Nearest Merchant

. What am I supposed to do, man the hydrophone myself every time there's a new contact (not that I can get the damned thing to turn).

Used TC going south of Scapa Flow very brave that is one place you tend to find DD's. Only ever came though there once and no DD about.
