Error is the central mechanism of war. Everything else is window dressing.

I cant play without RSRD now days, I just miss it too much, TMO feels incomplete without for me, esp with the upgrades I have made.However, I do miss TMO's planes.I have been trying to figure out how to get them to act the same in RSRD.

Yes, having planes bomb you when you're at periscope depth was one of Ducimus' most inspired inventions. I guess a tour through RSRD is in order to ferret out all the "improvements" to gameplay.

Welcome sonicninja! When you're playing SH4, you really have to forget all about SH3. These aren't U-Boats. This isn't the tiny Atlantic. You're playing in a war where the use of submarines was appropriate and resulted in victory. You're playing in a submarine that was a good fit for its responsibilities. All that is markedly different from what you are used to. Comparing and trying to apply U-boat knowledge to US subs is not the best way to proceed. Especially the TDCs are very different.

Wait the planes won't bomb you when your at periscope depth when using RSRD? Looks like no more diving to 165ft when a plane shows up on radar.

Welcome to the Pacific theater sonicninja! Glad to have more sub skippers to destroy the IJN. Just remember, in the Pacific, we just sink the ships with the big red spot in the middle of a white flag, not the ones with red, white, and blue all over them.

Your special newby job is to re-organize the recognition manual according to the country's flags.

Well, I play RFB, and I can tell you from personal experience, that the planes in RFB can bomb you at a good depth. I've lost more than one career that way.
