TMO = Trigger Maru (Overhauled) mod by Ducimius. Currently the most up-to-date megamod for Pacific theater in SH4, geared mostly towards challenging experienced sub sim players and fleshing out features of the game: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=132330

Also, sorry you got sent to the Marshalls! It's always pretty dead there. It was always a strategic backwater from the Japanese perspective, so you will never see convoys, large combat units, or indeed even frequent merchants there in any SH4 version.

Your nearest major hunting ground from there would be around the big Japanese base at Truk.

CCIP - ah right! TMO sounds to SH4 what GWX is to SH3 - I GOTTA have a piece of that then!

If I sneak off from my given task will I be condemned to scrubbing decks when I (eventually) get back to base? In SH3 you can do what you want after you have completed your 24 hour patrol area ( and even then nothing is said if you snuk off early, or didn't even get there). Truk, here I come...

no I don't - have to start anew after updating.

Don't worry about sneaking off of your patrol area. While you get points for completing objectives, there is no penalty for not doing so. Sinking ships is the biggest thing in getting points. (I guess it is pretty much the same as SH 3; it's really up to you how you want to play.) If you send back status reports, you usually get new orders, so if don't want any specific orders, just maintain radio silence.

Maintaining radio silence was the norm anyways, unless command was trying to raise a specific boat. And even then, I would be apprehensive of giving away the boats position in Empire waters.

Gotcha Torpx, thanks. I am twiddling my thumbs now as have ordered a Gold copy of the game so I can use the TMO mod, and am keen to have a go.

One thing TMO lets you do, is take your boat way passed the redline test depth. Just how far? You'll have to find out for yourself. But I have had a balao boat close to 700ft down. The hull creaked and growned worse than a wooden keg of beer left out in the sun on a summer day too!
