You make it sound as if we were cursed or something!

I run Trigger Maru and RSRD. I don't run Pacific Environments as it tends to overwork my video hardware, and since it seems to be the same for you, I'd suggest avoiding that.

RSRD is great: they've tried to re-create historical Japanese ship traffic, and generate appropriate missions for you.

My suggestion is you try in turn RFB and TM, each with RSRD, and see what you like.

Also go over to the mods forum and read around in the appropriate threads as well, to see what the focus of each mod is.

It is beneficial that you've already played around with the stock game, so you will know what the mods have changed.

I want to thank everybody that gave me suggestions for mods.

I loaded Trigger maru and RSRD for TM and I am having a great time. I played quite a few hours on stock. I never got too far into the war, so I'm not sure if all of the things i'm seeing are from the mods or from the stock game progress, however, the "feeling" of the game is 100% different.

I now have a variety of ships that will actually do a ziz-zag course even if they do not know I'm around. This is a big change from the serpentine course the ships ran in stock.

I'm not bombarded with messages...I don't have aircraft showing up every 5 minutes unless I have been in an area too long.

Instead of spotting 3-5 ships every day, I might spot some ships every 3-5 days turning my previous 30 day patrols (because of running out of fish) into closer to 60 day patrols which are more historic.

My torpedos actually cause me greef by running too deep, prematurely detonating, or becoming nothing more then a "Thud". There is nothing like real life frustration.

Anyway, the game is more in tune with what I felt it should be.

Thanks again!!
