Can't say enough about RSRD with either RFB or TMO. I play a lot; too much probably; in four careers I have sunk:

3 CV's, 1 BB, one CL, a Seaplane Tender and numerous DD's, subchasers and one Merchant Cruiser. On top of the intelligence intercepts that are set up for you, there are random appearances of TF's.

Cruise the coast off Japan (say 40-50 NM) and you'll see PLENTY of stuff, no matter what version you are running.

I pretty much ignore my patrol zone orders (just get them out of the way then don't report in) and then track the nearest shipping lane on a 2/3 speed zig zag course all the way back to Nihon.

I don't like task forces-too many DD's! That's what the USN Fast Carrier Task Forces are for-my job is to sink merchants and bring the ship home safely.

Not enough action... my eye... on one of the later patrols I ran into more action than I cared for.... it is quite nice to be assigned to picket duty during the invasion of Saipan and Guam... it is also very nice to get regular updates on enemy task forces.... but positioning oneself in pitch dark night on a taskforce filling up half of my radar screen, causing the sonar to go haywire and going to periscope depth only to find myself in the crossing point of two of those taskforces was a tad too much. At least I sunk two Takao Cruisers... couldn't see much else.

Oh yes... that was RFB with RSRD
