Patrol 1
I left Pearl Harbour headed to the marshall islands to patrol. When i reached there without any hostile contacts i patrolled there. After finding no ships I headed north to wake island were i crawled across the harbour bottom to try and find a docked target. The harbour was completely deserted and so i decided to head home. No doubt the crew wasn't happy that we hadn't sunk any ships.

[U570]

Started off in Jan '42, USS Narwhal.

So far, I'm on my 3rd patrol, from Brisbane and heading for the Solomons.
About halfway, I find a Task Force with 3-5 destroyers, 1 Mogami, 2 Escort Carriers and a Fleet Carrier. Only knew about them because of radar

My 1st patrol went horribly, after harbour raiding Bangkok, took major damage in a gun battle, then another inside the harbour after being forced to surface. Got home, and told to get a new sub, so I'm stuck with an S-18.

2 days into my 2nd patrol, I find out my 'scrapped' sub is sinking Maru's in the South China Sea .



Update:- I got one of the flat tops

[Armistead]

I use RSRD. I start out of Manila and attack one of the many invasion forces, refit before Manila falls, attack other invasion force and head to
Surabaya. In Feb I head to the strait near Timor, late Feb off the coast of Java for the large jap invasion.

1942 will find me in the Solomons partaking of all the large and small battles.

1943, hang out around the Truk to Home Waters shipping lanes.

1944, mostly Palawan and Formosa shipping lanes.

1945, Korea Straits.

Also try to do as many battles as possible. I hardly ever go to my patrol zone.

This sounds pretty good. How do you find the battles? I always try to put myself where the battles are taking place based on what I can read about them on the internet, (the battle of the coral sea, for example) but can't seem to find them. One time I did manage to catch about five destroyers attacking the new sub tender in the solomons, and witnessed the sub tender and harbor patrol boats fight a gallant but loosing battle. It was cool but the only time I've been able to find surface ships fighting. ( I did my part by putting two tin cans on the bottom by the way )
Do you know times and approximate coordinates? -thanks

Depends on your mod setup. If you're playing stock, it only has a few poorly scripted battles and few are where they should be

Open uo the mission editor and read the campaign layers if you want to be in the perfect spot to witness those things. Aircratf carrier battles are dificult to find since they very very long range battles, but you can find them in the scripted layers of RSRD.
