I've gotten the "red star" symbol before, it only appers in the Soloman Islands, so I presume its a task force heading down the Slot towards Guadalcanal or one of the other islands in the chain.

tell me about it... April 43, now at Brisbane back from an arduous trip to the Bismarck Sea, hunting down mercs in the Admiralty slot, just north of Bismarck archipelago, I had to refit and hump it all the way, from B to Fremantle. 6000 + kms at ahead 2/3s and a tc of 2048 mostly running into friendly mercs (or...), and getting a sore thumb from spamming the +....

phew

.. I got 16 torpedoes mostly hitting aft now, and I'm waiting for mid July or June to get the Mk18s... I notice also that the sound bearing called by the operator is usually aft actual position. This difference creates alot of offset when he's over the 10k radius. As a solution, I use the stadi when he's under 7 k (range), but in crisp, clear, 1m/s wind, fog-less weather, I have to be waaaaaay back from his track. at least he reacts as such, so this patrol I learned many things, and this is the beauty of this game. Getting experience from little things like that as I progress and confront more Japs... Lets hope I dont die and survive the war... No, make that, we....

Radar is flogged, but sometimes, when I'm in storm with didley squat visibility, I tune to a bearing and wait till that blip shows... Anyways I'm not mad over this, but I'm mad that the game decided to give me a torp. speeder ability in one of the guys, and this maybe the error on this one patrol to Bismarck sea.

One up-side to this patrol was the weather. And because the fog was light, I was able to hunt a Fubuki DE, last in the pack of a hefty convoy, usually that would be the straggler doing all crazy things, interrupting your tc as you retire the scene......

I think I'll not attack in clear weather anymore, and in half-moon light, I wouldnt pop the scope even if a Y is 1000 meters from my bow.
