I tried again last night..No go!! Cant see anything thru either scope,raised the boat to 40' and the waves were still blocking it and cant get the boat on the surface..I know I was close enough a couple of times last night and the thingamajig wont give me any readings..I'm still following it..May try again tonight or wait until Monday...

Hey Clay,have you tried pressing the L key when your crosshairs are over the ship? Sometimes in rough seas you can do that and it will give you the info you desire but it will turn back off in a couple seconds until they get closer.

Thank you sir I will try that next time I try for them...

Well I'm giveing up for awhile...I got right up to them and I cant get any readings from the dohickey...I fired a couple of torps where I thought they should go and they missed..And the biggest thing that is makeing me mad is I cant get the dam boat to surface..It goes up and then sinks back down.....

It looks like a couple of the merchant ships have sunk from the seas...

You should be lucky you can even see the ships. The worst case of weather pretty much made it impossible to see 10 feet in front of me, I ended up running into a carrier and sinking too

You are frickin not going to belive this.....I LOST THE CONVOY!!!!! And then crashed my boat looking for it.....I have to be the worst player here......

My head is hanging....

I think I will take shore leave for awhile...

Keep your head up, Clay! You were in the worst possible conditions with (I'm assuming) no radar.

The next time you spot something it'll probably be an un-escorted passenger liner.

What year is it in your game and how much diesel do you have left? There's a sweet spot @ 4 N, 128 E. Assuming New Guinea isn't liberated yet.

No sir I'm on another mission now,had to start over after I lost the boat and crew..I'm going to have a heck of a time with this one..Have to sneak into a harbor and take pictures and I cant see outside while the boat is under water...

I think this game is taking a slow trip to the shelf...

I haven't figured out quite yet if you're eff-ing with us or if you're truly having problems, kind sir. The periscope lets you see outside when you are under water, you usually have no problems with weather in a harbor. If you do not like the stock patrol assignments, load up RSRD and have at it....have good day!
