Hi guy’s,


Finished my first patrol sinking a few merchant vessels (got a bronze star for that although in the missions menu before the start of one when opening the medal box I see the silver star, but Ey.. I don’t think I’ll send it back to the Nav. department.

Anyway, got my orders for the next mission and have to go to Tokyo harbour to gather information about the taskforces at port.:o
I go in at night obviously.. and spot 2 lovely cruisers sitting by the first harbour to the left of me (can’t remember the name of the port) and decided that I’ll take a shot at them after completing the primary mission hoping they’re still there when I get back. :rock:

I take the snapshots go back and evade just 1 destroyer patrolling the harbour:down: which was kinda weird considering they’re at war with the US anyway I sneak back to the first harbour hoping the 2 cruisers are still there and guess what…. THEY ARE!!!!:D

I line up at 4420m, take aim, set my torp’s to the appropriate depth (going from 5 to 9 making the biggest hol possible) with low speed to give me some time to get the hell out of there so to evade the 2nd and last destroyer (damn still think it's weird, this game needs more patrols around the costal aria’s)’and let go of 4 fish which after a few min’s do the job perfectly.
The destroyer goes to investigate and as a good destroyer does…. Finds me.:shifty:

I take a hell of a pounding with loads of damage to my vessel and 2/3 of my crew is badly injured but in the end after some sneaking around put 2 fish in it's port side sinking it. As there’s no more patrol when you get out of the port I surfaced for some well deserved fresh air and had a look at the log’s. Marked on it was the cruiser and destroyer I just killed.:arrgh!:

Kinda proud of my crew and myself I decided they’d earned some R & R and headed home.
While sailing home more then half the crew gets promoted my vessel is running fine again and the radio is giving the latest news at the front.

After I docked and ended the patrol I get the silver star, purple hart and another medal (I forgot the name of that 1) but then it happened…. I get a nice letter from the state department saying a whole lot of you made your country proud and blab bla, then I get retired from service. ?????????????? what the hell???????:damn:

FFS!!!!!

I want my kill list back!!!!!!!!

You should have gone AWOL and never return.... That meaning go to nearest friendly port, do some refit and get back to sea....:|\\

Just finished my letter to the Sate department asking them to put me back on active duty.

Got a backup plan aswell, :smug:

Getting rid of the Sub commanders 1 by 1 so they have to put me on active duty again :88)


Untill I get that letter I've reinlisted and should be back in open waters aroud June 1942.

PS_ I'll stay clear of any cruiser on this tour, when I see one I'll take a picture instead. :shifty:

I'm on my 4th patrol now, having sunk an aircraft carrier and 2 cruisers and COMSUBPAC doesn't even give me a new sub, I'm starting to suspect them of corruption. :p

You've been hit by the retirement bug. Your ORIGINAL sub class (which you may or not be in) got retired and that means you go with it. Its a known bug and there is a fix out for it - do a search. :up: Once applied - you get the chance to spend renown to stay away from the desk jobs.

two things,

1) bureaucrasy
2) government employed

That about sums it up, it's out there some where but they just didnt get a chance to get around to it.
Like most things :up:



No offence guy's

Can figure out the rest myself.

Hmmmmm,

Its already been altered by the Triiger Maru mod v1.2... which I have installed before I started the first campaign.

Maybe it's the purple Hart, I might have bin badly injured like loosing a legg or something like that.

Hope they fix the bug in SHIV 1.3 patch
