A Few Questions About FOTRSU

u.Prestige · 01-23-24, 01:53 AM

Before I use FOTRSU, I played RFB2.0+RSRDC and completed 12 war patrols.
I was playing FOTRSU since last weekend.
I started a new career from October 1942 in a Gar class based in Midway. Until now I conducted 4 patrols and it is June 1943. Here are my questions on FOTRSU:

1. Are there too many ships? Do I meet them too frequently?
During my 1st patrol I went to south of Shikoku and sunk 11 ships, 55k tons.
2nd in Formosa Strait and Luzon Strait, sunk 9 ships, 53k tons.
3rd in Mashal/Gilbert Islands, Ocean Island and Saipan, sunk 9 ships, 80k tons, including a battle ship.
4th also in south of Shikoku, sunk 10 ships, 70k tons!
That was amazing......
Back in RFB+RSRDC, I often sunk only 3-5 ships in a patrol because I just didn't meet so many targets, before I ran out of fuel and have to return to base. It was a huge surprise to sink 7+ ships in a single patrol in RFB.

2.Is there a fuel consumption bug?(limited fuel is on, of course)
The max range of a fleet boat is about 11000 NMs, back in RFB, I often had only 3%-5% fuel left when I came back to base after a 50+ days patrol.
When I played FOTRSU, the fuel consumption rate was rather low! In my 4th patrol to Japan Home Waters, which had lasted about 45 days, about 3000 NMs from my Midway base, I had 70% fuel left when I returned to Midway.

3.How or When can my conning tower be upgraded?
If I start a campaign in early 1943(Jan 1943), I can get a late-war conning tower (2 AA gun slots) with any Porpoise/ Salmon/ Sargo/ Tambor/ Gar/ Gato class boats.
I started current campaign in late 1942 with a Gar class boat, which has a early-war conning tower (only 1 AA gun slot ). Now I have ended my 4th patrol with 4000+ renown and it is June 14 1943, but still no refit/overhaul was offered.
Earlier in my 3rd patrol, which ended in March 1943, I was offered new command of a Gato class boat, if I accept it, it still had an early-war conning tower. (I refused it, wish I could get a Balao after my 6th patrol.)
Why in March or June 1943 I can't have a late-war conning tower while I
could have it if I start a new campaign in Jan 1943?
