Are you using TMO or TMO Update BH?

TMO Update BH is my mod, a update for TMO since the creator is not longer active in the community and had been some time since TMO was updated.

TMO Update BH has the Yamato force at Midway, pretty much in its historical positions. Force stayed a bit north of the action, then tried to close carriers at night. Can be difficult to intercept lol I had trouble locating it in testing of mod but did find it. Yamato Class is toughest target in the mod as it was reworke. Let me put it this way, I've only outright sunk it once and only after my six torpedoes crippled it, took another 10 to finish it off (if I recall correctly) Pretty much every major battle and many minor engagements are historically recreated in the update. See README for details (if have not already)


TMO BH (if dont already have it)

I had not known about the BH version and was using the last TMO that Decimus ( I think that was his name) had done. I am very impressed by what you posted and can't wait to try it. May make starting in Cavat fun again. I learned quickly to ignore orders to new patrol areas when my fuel is low because it seems the game does not register your fuel at all in calculating patrol areas.

Downloading this and already uninstalled and starting a fresh install.

Thank You

You'll find the TMOwTW is a bit easier. I gave up on TMO, I'm just a deck swabby playing it.

Have you tried the TMO Update V2.0? While AI is tough as ever ,it is a bit easier to survive, I have not been killed nearly as often as was in regular TMO. Damage model was reworked to be more historically accurate, can pull off night surface attacks in historical manner.

Good luck In some ways you will find TMO Update easier, AI is tough as ever but the damage model and depth charges have been reworked as explained in README and can pull off realistic night surface attacks, so if operating in shallow waters for example don't have to risk diving in most situations.
