TMO 2.5 RSRD 100 realism(cams and contacts off on this patrol) Balao Class(Pampanito) out of Pearl Harbor.

Assigned to Luzon Straits area in Late August-September 1944.Ran into six convoys from August 25-September 22 1944, sank seven ships for 44,246 tons.Been a while since I have patroled such a hot area, between the planes at night and in daytime and the large, heavily escorted convoys, I was busy.20 out of 24 torpedos found their targets, 4 missed a large tanker when it changed speeds while fish were en route, after was forced to fire from 3,000 yards during night surface attack, thanks to the 6 escorts.For those who have played patrols without contacts and cams, you know it's a bit of a chore but worth it.Arrived at Pearl. home October 10, 1944.
