There are lots of good tutorials out there, but I like salty's because the require less time to watch.

Ahoy sir! Long time no talk too. I hope your neck of the woods is treating you well. The game is a very different experience. As far as micro-manage, the game genre lends time for it IMO. As torpedo attacks develop there is time to manage the boat and crew. But I agree with things such as setting up compressed air after surfacing. These should be an automatic activity for the crew. Maybe the captain ordered it(IRL) after surfacing. I don't know. Yes, salty's videos are a huge help.

Remember back in the day we would buy the disc that came in a box full of other goodies? Such as keyboard layout and small pamphlet with other instructions. Loading the disc and hearing it whirrrr away as the files loaded. Good times...good times.

I'm on your side of the country now, Upstate, NY

I think the game with the best extras, had to have been AotD. When there was a patch, they mailed you the disk!

I decided to purchase this sim after my SH-4 problem was sorted by ubisoft support and I did not have to replace my copy. I used the funds I had put aside on U-BOAT instead seeing it was on sale. WOW! I am really impressed, the graphics are amazing and even though I have only had time to play a few of the tutorials it is very good, now all it needs is a Type IXC, some people are never [me] satisfied!

Near Albany. Not too horribly far from the USS Slater.
