I just picked this up from London Drugs the other day (for ten bucks), same day that I bought the new gaming rig (4gHz, 512 meg. video card), and it runs like a watch.

Only a couple of things that miss. I would like the bridge crew to be able to report contacts when asked. Or perhaps I am missing something...

Only other thing I miss is SH3 Commander. I wish that there was one for this game as well. Oh, I also miss the captain's bunk from SH3.

On my first career patrol using the manual targeting, and have sunk 12000 grt with 3 hits, one miss and one malfunction.

Good Job! :up: your'e gonna love this game. There is a contact report available. On the bottom menu, click the binoculars and there is a command for "report contacts"...Same goes for sonar, but you must be submerged (use the sonar icon). ...Radar contacts will be reported automaticly....

Welcome to SUBSIM jazzabilly!:up: Nothing like a good old American reliable torpedo to make your day complete. Until June 1943, set 'em on the surface, get close and learn to pray.

Edit: H-hey! You're from Vancouver! Tiny, tiny world...

Many bad torpedoes on my first patrol; 3 duds altogether, which means I essentially end up "double tapping" just about every target.

Managed to sink a big liner off of Honshu as the highlight of the first patrol! I triple-tapped her (wanted to make sure!).

Where are those darned screenshots saved, anyway?

[AngronIsAngry]

The screenies are in the games root directory. You might also find the pictures taken during photo recon missions there.
Maybe it is just me, but I just about always fire one torp with the gathered datas and a second insurance with additional spread alterations to cover data errors on my side. The only targets getting only one torp are those how just don't justify a valuble second shot.
