I don't think they like you.

That super escourt is part of RSRDC and 6 throwers? Come on that is way over the top for me I like a challenge but not when it is a ship loaded with way too much stuff to be belivable I dont even think that small thing would be able to carry enough DCs to keep all those things loaded for very long might as well make a bardge that has 50 throwers on it not realistic.The planes are tough in TMO but not to me really even in 45 when they have the radar(I get the RWR warning) I just crash dive after I get the alert. However the type of envro mod you have can make you more visable and also effects how sound travels in the water as well.Looks like he is using smoething other than TMOs Enviro.Other day day I was in Convoy College waiting for a Nippon Maru to sail into my TDC just when I was about to fire someone saw a palne on the scope I decided to risk satying at 60ft somehow the guy never saw me and I sank the maru. I dont know why but they just dont ever seem to find me. Maybe the guy that was watching the sector I was in went to the toilet.

That is why I hit the crash dive button in the con tower as soon I get the alert I am not going to give them a slight chance on me. Better safe than sorry cause the planes take a ton more damage in TMO.I had a gut with MAD once but for some odd reason he never attacked me I free camed and he was flying over top me not sure what his deal was.My crew are crash dive pros which is good it lets us kill more ships.

Yea, those coastal vessels are fun and tough. Not sure how many they carry, but enough to fill a large DD. Get three on you, pray you have decoys and deep water. They blew me to pieces...And I do use saves, just port saves. Went right back to Formosa and got killed again going after the same convoy in shallow water. Played the entire career to early 45 and never died and died 5 times in a row chasing TF and convoys in shallow water in Formosa.

I've been hit with charges from them at 500 ft. Am running some tweaked mods to make the AI a tad harder, but haven't touched the planes. They can see a tad deeper with the env mods, but not sure if it really effects how deep they drop. I've been damaged with just TMO at 200 ft.

Overall planes are easy, but visit Formosa early 45....Those Coastal vessels and planes work well together and you should get one patrol in shallow water. I planned to be safe the second time and went in during a storm and got popped. They attack at night, storms, doesn't matter. One thing I like about Formosa in 45 there are planes alway near the convoys...very realistic and the pilots are elite. Seldom see that. Also a good time to get a late war Ise as they make their final trip from Singy to Japan.
TMO
RSRD
Row Sound 9...love it.
Real Env, textured warships, ect.
Extra jap ships.
Sky Env.
Longer ship wake...great little mod.

and some others that don't mess with env. Finally found the set of mods I like that don't turn the game into fubar and get beautiful effects like this.

I had an Eratfu and an older Minekaze DD after me the other day near convoy college they where very mad after my sinking 2 of the 4 maurs they where covering my usual evasion busted when the convoy evaded in my direction. Man those suckers had me pretty close they pushed me from 330 all the way to 525 ft when they gave up at last. the whole time they had my location close but i could tell they where off by about 100ft in deapth.

They where very skilled though I heard a few times when they made a run theyd cut engines on and off I guess to try and hear me. Never saw this before they usualy just go full speed till they are done with the run. Did a lot of jinking on em had no decoys it was July 44 got em next load out though.

destroyers running silent is quite common. They run at speed, slow and stop for about 30 - 60 seconds then take off again.

Stealhead · 06-07-09, 03:39 PM

Not mid DC run they dont stop like that I have never seen them do this before. I am not talking about when they are trying to get a fix or after their DC run this was during.I know how they normaly run and this was not normal.Hell they would do this even when one was still in the water getting a fix and telling the one making the run where they thought I was at and still he did this full speed stop full speed stop. that is odd I assume he was hoping to hear me ahead flank to avoid his DCs it did not work. I was giving them as much a hard time as they where me.Thanks for the advice that i was already well aware of though.
