I added them for immersion. Most are mobile, floating around slowly. However, I did leave some as static to make sure they were visible/encountered for immersion. I recall having one off Dutch Harbor area be stationary for that reason

Fun fact is the very large icebergs can be detected on SD radar as they tower the minimum height of the radar lol. Shocked me when saw that. I turned off SJ to avoid having radar operator call out the contact with the berg, but SD (which we cant turn off currently) did pick it up.


So cold weather clothing mod, icebergs, a more in line reality with S Class sub, now all you need is targets lol What is the current day ,month, year in your S boat campaign?

Yeah... now the guys (lower ranked ones, that is... not sure if the officers wore these or not while in the cold waters off the Aleutians... ) need to be wearing knit caps rather than those cocky white hats.

Is early on, as I just started that career... is like, the 3rd or 4th of June.. '42. Started off from base on the 1st, 2 days to roll into the patrol area & 1 days roving about thus far...

I agree. I have long searched for a better cold weather clothing mod, request it, no takers. . Def need knit caps etc. At least we have something for now.


Yes, early on , as Japanese just invaded, the invasion forces are scripted then a lot of back and forth shipping, some escorted, some not start up during June 42. Good hunting

For first time ever in TMO Update, I sunk a Yamato Class BB. Rare find. Took 15 torpedoes over 8 hours.

It is a epic scream lol

Thanks, sinking Yamato was really unexpected and proved the highlight of the patrol, as in 46 days encountered nothing else in patrol area lol. Open ocean area(Philippine Sea), tough to locate targets at times.
