Looking for Danger in the Pacific...

Try starting in 1943, with just TMO and see if that makes any difference. I think you may run into more convoys. They'll range anywhere between 3 and 12 or 15 ships, with escorts ranging as few as two, to as many as 5, most of them set at veteran skill level. The convoys will be zig zagging at regular intervals, so you may find yourself tracking them a bit longer.

edit:
I have to admit, this post, coming from you keelbuster, kinda hurts, because making the game more challenging has been one of my goals in TMO. Your one of those fellows' whose been around awhile, we used to kid around with each other during our SH3 days, so your opinion has some weight with me. So i'm sitting here wondering if i have failed, or perhaps, like me you've been playing these games for so long, and know the quirks of the AI so well, that you can tap dance your way into in most situations regardless of theater or conditions.

In any event try TMO just by itself and see if that makes any difference for you. As an aside, i don't know if you adjusted the hydrophone settings like i posted to in the TMO thread, but in working on version 2.0, ive come up with a completely different set of hydrophone settings. The one i posted earlier will make escorts absolutely deaf.
