I will give RSRDC a try again down the road, or for sure after your mod is released.

Once my current career ends, I will fire up TMO again and try it without RSRDC to see how that campaign runs, I have never run TMO without RSRDC so I need to try it out anyway. I have the 1.9 version that won't be tilted so much to the Japanese ASW as I understand the last version 2.5 ended up.

Something to point out with coordinate specific ultras, just because they say they will be at so and so, keep in mind its the open ocean, they are unlikely to be at that specific coordinate right on the dot but within a few miles etc, so have to search and keep a taut watch, I can usually find them based on ultras, pretty easy.Again, RSRD just takes patience and it has plenty of playability, more so than without it.Dont give up!

Agreed on the Ultra Messages, first hand accounts are plentiful describing how these reports, along with contact reports from other subs were quite handy in "hitting the jackpot" in terms of being put in position to have the opportunity for contact. Such reports ended in success many, many times and many of our greatest success stories were the result of this operational information being forwarded to boats in the area.

Such messages for example, resulted directly in the sinking of two Japanese aircraft carriers en route to the Mariana, Two Carriers, two subs that were placed in the right places, at the right times- and crews that made the most of the opportunities afforded them... because of being tipped off ahead of time, making it to the proper location, and making their torpedoes count.

Once radar was available- the likelihood of contact with these enemy units increased dramatically.
