Make it a little harder--not vastly!--A little, e.g., DDs a little more aggressive. More early war duds/"unders." Fewer unescorted IJ merchants. I run into 3 or 4 on my way to a patrol zone, and on the way back.

That's it! This IS the perfect mod. It just needs tweaking in these areas, imo.

For what it's worth.

Update is way behind schedule due to health issues, family issues, and other to-be-named-in-the-future issues... - In the meantime, be sure and try the Add-In Mod Pak for FotRSU, and see if any of those tweaks get you a bit more DD action, and little dud action. Be sure also to not only use the Main Menu for the settings desired, but also inside the Captain's Office onshore, by clicking on the radio console to the left. There are plans to up both aspects a pinch, and have a mod each for "slightly easier"...

I just found FOTRSU today, and it's blowing me away! Visually it's incredible, and the new ships really add a lot of immersion to the game.

One thing I've noticed is that every so often, usually if I'm cruising at 2/3, I'll drop to 0 knots. Usually popping up to standard speed will fix it. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or if it's an incredibly detailed modeling of the Skipjack. It was fitted with HOR diesels until the middle of the war, after all, and they were notoriously fragile.

If you have anything tighter than a 90 degree turn set in the waypoints, or if you have encountered rough weather, you can end up with what you describe. Another way is by shelling out to Windows with the Windows key, or the Alt-Tab, or anyone of a myriad of ways to do that. The poor game gets confused, and can then introduce all sorts of audio and video stream errors. If that happens, Save the game, exit, then re-start the game and load that Save. Hopefully, all is back to "normal"...

Amazing what a well-place hedgehog can do, eh??
