that appears to be the case, as I decided to stay in Java... then got overrun by Japanese. oops.
transferred now to Fremantle. no new sub.
good thing I started myself with a Tambor.
I assume I will get offered a new sub as soon as I can transfer to a bigger base, like Brisbane.
... decided to go back and see what Manila looks like now during my current mission.
egads... battleships EVERYWHERE!
also... up to 8 destroyers protecting each of them. it's been like playing whack a mole.
1. fire 2 torpedoes
2. crash dive to 200 feet (below thermo)
3. go silent
4. wait 10 mins.
5. repeat
6. $
it's taken about 6 hours, but have nailed 3 BBs so far. Ise class.
only suffered 13% damage to hull and minor (already repaired) damage to engines from a lucky destro shot.
think I will stop this game at 4 bbs. it gets a little nervewracking. plus, it's almost morning, and no way am I going to try this stunt in daylight.
