RSRD orders you to empty areas

Unescorted singles need to be eliminated starting April 44 and fully by July 1944, except for small fries like the Taihosan when on local transits.

In early war say 41 and to late 42 singles or two merchants unescorted were common, even on long trips although I think if ships made a long run from Japan to Singapore for instance, they would have an escort.

43 on should see less singles but still some.For instance Wahoo sank an unescorted convoy off New Guinea in January 1943.

Overall, the singles need to be reduced.Also the ones that have hydrophones later on need their radius reduced, rather far fetched that you cant get under 2,000 yards from a lone freighter while running at two knots before they start zig zagging.

Overall the convoys in RSRD are fine with me, they run their historic routes mostly.The thing that bothers me is certain areas really lack convoys where they had them.Places like Convoy College, Gulf of Siam, Yellow Sea(mostly) Sea of Japan(for later years) Marshall Islands should have a few convoys coming and going.

I plan to make some changes when I have time, been a busy week havent even really had a chance to play my currentl patrol.

hows Truk coming along?

Most convoys have set speeds, obvious they change when a escort sees ya. I checked some of the waypoints and you will get some random speed changes. Mostly I want fast TF. People debate, but I want most TF to go faster than the sub.

I'm still working with Truk. Have one issue with RSRD I need to figure or get help on. To do it right you have to add so many things to other files in RSRD, once I get my triggers figured out, I'll let you give it a ride. Now working with that python program and having to rework all my changes. Wish I would've seen that program that tater posted before, so much faster, just got to learn more how it works.
