My biggest fish story - I love this game.

is the historical task force such as this only exist if you use RSRDC? since i play TMO without RSRDC(i like TMO patrol Objective so i don't want to replace it with the RSRDC one)

Great! I never sunk any big battleships. I don't have the courage to attack the taskforces, I prefer to pick on ones my own size.

When on patrol, you are supposed to be there to sink merchants, not warships, but sometimes the target is just too juicy to be overlooked.

I too am a fan of harbor raiding. The only capital ship I ever sunk (ever!) was on a type IX (in u-boat missions of course). I was in patrol close to feemantle and I did no resist to peek at the harbor. It was easy to crawl all the way to the harbor, there were DDs on it's entrance but they were too far away into the ocean that when I arrived, they were nowhere to be seen and even their sonar signatures were all but week.

And there it was, anchored, an american fleet carrier, overlaied by the silvery moon. Four hits and it was scrap. In the first explosion the airplanes flew into the air and fell on the water, it was beautiful.

Exactly right. On my previous patrols, I had sunk nothing but merchants and the occasional destroyer except for one serendipitous encounter with a Japanese light carrier inexplicably escorted by a single destroyer.

As you say though, this was too big to pass up.

I am quite certain sinking a Yamato-class battleship and a fleet carrier in one patrol is not something I will be able duplicate.

You're right, this was the first patrol I ever intentionally went after military vessels. I happened to notice the date and the location of my objective patrol and took a slight detour . It paid off big lol.

Other than stock, I've only played the mega-mods (RFB, TMO) in tandem with RSRDC and never without, so I don't know from experience. I suspect, in the stock version, if it's in the single missions, it's in the career mode as well, though I don't know to what degree of accuracy.

Stock had a few, TMO does make some changes so you'll see more and better historical TF, but few compared to RSRD, but you should see most of the big battles. What else is lacking is courses, ports, etc. With RSRD a historical group will leave correct ports, the exact course, etc..Stock traffic usually just places the group near the actual battle.
