And yet it seems, even with your engines off if a destroyer gets TOO close (and sods law one of them did come too close), they somehow instantly know you are there. That cannot be right surely, is it a flaw in the game?

Doesn't take a genious to work out what happend to the USS Seawolf in the shallows of Manila Harbour!!!
Looks like, basically, that he saw you, pure and simple. Submerged subs are visible from a short distance, even if submerged. TMO trims the graphics in such a manner that you can see that for yourself.

Check out this picture:

Lies!

I've been playing this game since it came out, and the Japanese carriers are as fictional as the Flying Dutchman or the Yamato. There's no such ships in this game.

Fictional Flying Dutchman....



My guess it's only in stock, RSRD nerfed it, but you can add it back.

What's with the screenshot of the empty ocean?




Honestly, in all the years the game has been out, I've never seen it. Stock, TMO, RSRD, never seen it. I've sunk the one battleship I've seen. I spotted a couple of carriers once. I even got sunk by a sub recently. But I've never seen the Flying Dutchman.
