I'm using Patch 1.4 only, no mods at all. What had happened is I had to start a new game, somehow my saves had become corrupted from my previous game, and when I started out on the new career I forgot to set my reality options, therefore I had unlimited battery and everything. I didn't realize this unlimited status until I was over in Tokyo Harbor and I noticed my battery wasn't draining, so I figured I'd just set all my options when I returned. Never the less I ran into one of those Medium Gunboats with no depth charge racks and this thing latched onto me like a Sumu Wrestler and I couldn't shake it for anything. The danged thing followed me all the way back, I'd say within 100 miles anyway, to Midway before I finally slipped away in the rain. I've played many versions of this game but this was the first time this has happened to me anyway. I had already shot all my torpedoes and also all my gun ammo .. both 20mm and 4" .. so all I could do was evade. I figured it wouldn't follow me far, but omg it followed me all the way back to Midway, and an awful trip it was. The speed was slow on battery, that was bad enough, but about everytime I speed up the time it'd get knocked back down to 1 again because the gunship kept getting detected. Talk about a miserable trip across the ocean.
