in TMO, three and sometimes four escorts will circle the area where they detect you. then one escort will dash in for a DC attack while the other two or three sit back, positioned at various angles, listening for you to dash off in a reaction to the DC attack. then a different escort picks up your sound pattern and then executes the maneuver again, and again, and again, until you are sunk or you have managed to out-smart them and sneak away. i refer to it as the Circle of Death, because if you get caught in it, well, you are probably dead-sub-sailing.

That is what I refer to as the "Mexican Hat Dance"... no applause necessary though...

On the map, it shows the area marked by a Star, as being off to the NE of Saigon... YET... the orders in the letter, state to do the insertion, off Penang.
So... which is it..? Saigon or Penang... Inquiring minds, wanna know...  |
As KaleunMarco points out, just like with the "Grid Coordinates" on the German side, always go to the star or other Objective marker. However, it's a good thing you found that. I have never seen that mission, so I'll have to look for that...

FOTRS v1.3 is the old AOTD_MadMax version, as you are aware. We don't support that version. It is just as beautiful as FotRSU, but not as comprehensive in its Roster. However, I can tell you that most airplanes that the game generates are set to a default height of 500m, and as such, they often cannot see the player's sub very well. They also are generally of the "Competent" skill level, since that is what most of the AirBases are set to - besides the fact that hitting a moving target is not easy. Given enough chances though, they will eventually hit you, and / or your gunners will hit them... either way though, it is risky for a submarine to attempt to dual with airplanes...

Are MD5 hash sums available for the big downloads? It would save a lot of headache.

I have found that most corruption comes from the connection, and that most failures to initiate a download come from the browser. Opera is a 'smaller' browser, and has less overhead than most others, so that probably helps, plus it doesn't have all of that "big brother" krapp that attempts to save you from yourself and / or track you. As for the MD5 or hash sums, the v1.39 FotRSU is posted with:
MD5 hash of 100_FalloftheRisingSun_UltimateEdition_v1.39_EN.7z :
c7c0eb520dbee990ed018f6a01ba467a
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.
We attempt to do that for ours, but that is up to the modder to post.
