That's not to say there isn't value in giving the AI a sporting chance in this game, or a challenge for the home team. But, to compare what the FOTRS AI capabilities are compared to what the real life counterparts actually could do.....its like comparing an orange to a raisin.

What's weird is that if it's just a straight up merchant convoy, the escorts are easy. |

So this is how I am setting up SH4 to run under my 64-bit Win7 Pro system. First I unload all mods from JSGME, and delete the SH4 folder in My Documents. I then delete the Silent_Hunter_IV folder from my C:Games\Ubisoft\ directory. I do not do a formal "uninstall" of SH4 since none of the locations are changing with regard to registry entries, at least as far as I can tell for the last few years. Next I copy the pristine v1.5 that I keep in a folder named Silent_Hunter_IV over to the C:\games\ubisoft\ directory, run LAA (I will skip the 4Gb patch in the future, copy the FOTARS latest version (public) to JSGME, and activate it. I will then start a new career, based first out of Pearl and then transfer to Midway when that becomes available. I think that will give me a valid test platform. Please let me know if I've missed anything. GameBooster4 is freeware that I run immediately prior to starting SH4 to turn off all the crappy applications that run in the background and eat up memory when all I want to do is run a memory eating game. It is configurable, and I use it to stop processes that are not needed for gaming, such as automatic updates, etc. The GameBooster4 app reports that it speeds up my machine by 44%. When I close the game, GameBooster4 restores all the apps, processes and services it closed and life goes on. Using the Boost mode allows me to run TC at a full 8192 without stutter when crossing the wide Pacific, a boon to those of us who have no patience! On one other note, is there any consideration being given to giving users the option to remove that annoying orange marker showing my boat's location? Those of us who use the external cameras really don't need it, and it is a distraction, regardless of color. It spoils the view.

Using two different 4gb patches should be harmless. All these programs do is turn on a flag in the .exe. Unless ofcourse the second one flips it back to off

Could very well be... The NTCore one is older, and originally made for WinXP 32-bit, to enable a program to go beyond 2 gig on those old beasts... back in the heady, early days of massive quantities of 4 gig of ram... |

I spent sometime last night looking at the task force mis.files. All ships are at the default status of veteran. I did notice that crew efficiency was still set at =3. I reset all ships to 1 for crew efficiency. It still remains to be seen if this will make a difference with the Japanese psychic DDs. I can tell you that I encountered a small task force west of the Marshall islands last night and they didn't know I was around until I put a couple of torpedoes into one of the cruisers.
