Ouestion about RSRDC--

Kpt. Weyprecht · 05-22-23, 05:03 AM

I am playing FotRSU right now and I encounter a good deal of armed merchants traveling in groups but without escorts and some small convoys. As far as I know (there are plenty of people way more knowledgeable than me around here) large convoys with strong escorts were historically quite rare until late in war when the Japanese had fewer merchants left and plenty of escorts.

The real challenge comes from the task forces.

I'm trying FOTRS now. Great mod. Both are great. There seem to be more convoys so far. Still early 42 though. I want to see how it progresses.

Another question that applies to all versions--does Very Hard/"Realistic" difficulty setting effect the AI, or does it just have to do with the start of campaign default settings which can be manually changed anyway, i.e., manual targeting, map contacts, etc.

the latter alternative: the career difficulty option will only affect the items that are listed in the gameplay options screen, while you are in port: manual targeting, map contacts, duds, cameras, et.al.

Those settings do the "multiplier" stuff, and you'll see a "percentage" displayed on your screen somewhere on the settings page, about what percentage you are at. What those do, is if you sink a ship of say 1200 renown points, and your "realism" is set at 72% as an example, you would score 1200x0.75=900, so 900 renown points instead of the 1200 that is assigned to a ship.
