Oh thanks, i did not find that before.

I decided yesterday to back up and overwrite the file. I reran the save where I had the issue to see if I could try to figure out how the DD's/DE's found me.

I hit a merchant in the area with one torp and it didnt want to expire. To save fish, I surfaced and proceeded to put it away with the deck gun. took more time than I liked. Then I was continually put down by aircraft.

When the convoy came by in the shipping lane, it may have had a sense of where I was and used active sonar in the area I was working. If thats the case the game is very clever.

As for mods, just some eye candy Fine crew, enviornment something and sky and water support files.

pretty much stock.

I did edit the file to adjust time compression settings so I wouldnt be caught out with using high compression.

Only help (aid) I use is unlimited fuel. Man, I hate the long voyages getting to the patrol zone, so i run them at flank speed.

I'm Ok with starting over, just wanted to do it with a Baleo, not a Porpose. And early war is fairly easy. Other than the agent landing mission where I barely got out alive in shallow water. Got real lucky with a tail shot on a subchaser/escort. Badly bloodied dont want to do that again.

Cool.

But, if you're playing mostly stock, you might want to consider starting over with one of the mega-mods - they really improve the game. Well, imho they rescue it from near un-playability.

I haven't played them all, but I can recommend:
RFB+RSRDC
or
TMO+RSRDC (+OTC)(+Traveller Mod)

There's also Webster's Game Fixes Only (GFO) Mod, which looks tempting. I might try that next.

Scuttlebutt is, RFB might be more realistic, TMO might be more challenging - I haven't played enough TMO yet to really make a comparison.

IDK about starting in a Balao though. In 1941 you can get a Gar class sub (6 fwd tubes ftw) if you start in Pearl. You'll probably have to start later in the war for a Balao.
