Basic Tutorial

[I'm goin' down]

I am new to this. I can operate the sub, and fire its weapons. But I have no idea about TDC, attacking, etc. Is there a basic tutorial or online tutorial? Otherwise, I'm goin down! (again)

Welcome to SubSim and Silent Hunter IV! :)

Quite a few in the stickies of this forum.

Here's a quick list of them for you:

After looking at those be sure to check out all the stickes here, they contain a lot of information.

As a tip; find a realism level you're comfortable with, and slowly crank it up as you learn. Probably easier to start of with auto-targeting to get a hang of maneuvering the sub into position for an intercept. No duds and unlimited fuel will help you along as well by removing a couple of annoyances, like running out of fuel after your first succesfull patrol. :lol:

Welcome aboard. :up:

thanks for your two posts. It is much appreciated, as I am close to being thrown out of the service for incomptence and inciting a mutiny.

It takes time, but you'll get the hang of it. On my first patrol my crew tried to set me adrift on a life-raft. ;)

I envy your position on the learning curve....:yep:

What joy it would be to be able to have the opportunity to relearn it all again. Poets have probably wriiten reams and reams on that theme....:hmm:



Hey....just stick with it and learn from your mistakes. First don't keep doing the same thing in the same way while expecting a different outcome. Next if you encounter some specific problem that you can't get a handle on ...then this is the place to seek advice.
