Don't get scared!!
there is a file in the Dark Waters\Support\OM_DarkWaters_AddIns\ folder titled ProposedOpMonsunFlotillas.ods that displays Flot v Base info.
Not sure who built it and i am not sure if it is 100% accurate but it is a starting point.

I must have missed that doc, there is a ton of doc, some not even accurate or relevant, a lot to go through lol. Ill check it out though. Thanks for heads up.
Oh, definitely not scared yet lol. I love the mod but its definitely not that difficult in early stages for as escort AI goes, reminds me of how easy stock was. I even have the L2, most difficult AI enabled. I have encountered aircraft when closer to land as well, that is always a ugh attention getter since no air search radar, all visual.
Getting away from escorts is going below 120 meters and they have a tough time tracking and their depth charges are set shallow. I have not looked at the guts of the mod as trying to avoid that outside of the night surface attack aspect (which I have working pretty well, will be releasing it soon). I've had one semi challenging escort encounter, likely had a higher skill level. However, I have no doubt it will get more difficult.
My major initial difficulties was adjusting to plotting things in metric and the German TDC is different, with its lack of position keeper and thus if you change course etc after entering data requires correction.I figured it out and had a lot of success.
Last patrol sunk 5 ships...three merchants, two tankers. I had a lot of duds on this patrol. I've been reading up on German torpedo crisis "torpeokrise", was never aware the extent of the problem, it was for a time almost as dire as the MK 14 scandal. Did not solve the depth running issue until Feb 1942.
I survived but upon return to port, I was removed from command and said to be hauled off by the Gestapo (Secret Police as it put it). Apparently, I sunk too many neutral ships. I sunk one second patrol and two on last. Bit of a contradiction because I received a message saying basically to conduct unrestricted warfare, they are sailing in convoy with the hostile to Germany it happens.Also, OM it was never a problem, was not aware it was changed. I may have to change that aspect of things. To my knowledge no U Boat commanders were never disciplined for sinking neutrals. One on second patrol was even a accident lol. T1 torpedo I fired missed target, but sailed on two columns over and hit a large neutral merchant. They do not act neutrals either, will turn to ram you lol.
