RSRDC and Historic Accuracy

Soundman · 04-28-08, 02:40 PM

I've been playing RSRDC now for a month or two and have not come accross many IJN vessels. I love the way the missions are designed, but looking to see a little more intense action engaging military units. It seems I read sometime back, that someone was researching dates of famous battles before going on patrol, then after finishing their first objective, would go to where the action is/(was). Does this really work? It seems if that were the case, it would be like a cheat, like being able to go back in time. It does however, sound like fun. If this does work, could someone recommend a website lising the dates of historic battles? Thanks!

Ah, nice listing of info there, thanks MS! Again though, does going to these areas usually result with finding IGN units?

Some people have been successful in finding the IJN fleet for the Battle of Midway - I got buzzed by a lot of zeroes, but never saw the fleet. Lurker would be the one to ask regarding how many major engagements that he has incorporated into RSRDC.

So far, having 6 or so patrols in TMO with RSRDC, the only IJN units I've encountered (other than convoy escorts) has been one single task force that consisted of two Kongo battleships and two destroyers. I got advance radio notice of the TF, intercepted it, and sank one of the Kongos.
