Or two troop ships in line astern, guarded by 3 - 4 destroyers. Wherever I patrolled, so long as it could conceivably be a route connecting 2 Japanese bases, I could find targets easily.

So I'm trying FOTRSU, starting in the Asiatic Fleet in Dec 1941. First mission was to patrol south of Hainan Island and I detect a convoy consisting of LSTs(!), minelayers and many other ships which I have yet to identify. I surmise this must be an invasion force headed for HK? Malaya?

Trying to adjust to some of the changes introduced in the mod. More variety in ship types and classes which is good. No more generic "fleet carriers" for one, nice to see named CVs. Map contacts now have no tails so it'll take some effort to determine target course and thereby plot an intercept.

Are any suggested mods which play well with FORTSU?


Sent you a DM, here Zero Niner, with info about that.
