Starting a career

[joejccva]

Question:

If I start a career on Dec 6th 1941, and pick a sub class like a Tambor or Gar class US sub...can I ever switch to a Gato class later on in the war? Not sure exactly how that works. I know you can request a transfer to a different station, but can you change subs?

Thanks.

As you complete missions, sink ships, ect..eventually you'll be offered a better boat, usually after 3 patrols, better you do, faster it happens.

A new sub 'may' be offered to you but you can't pick one.

Great..thanks guys. One more question please.

What is the difference between choosing the SubPac region command or the "Task Force" ones?

[thor headsplitter]

If you choose Subpac your first Homeport will be Pearl Harbor HI. The Task Force Homeport will start out as Cavite Base near Manila P.I.

I always preferred a Salmon class right outta Manila. After that, Narwhal from Pearl!:rock:

When sailing out of pearl dont forget to stop at midway and top off the tanks.

Otherwise you might not make it back.

I quite often stop at midway on the way back too ;)

Manila is the better base to do things from. Pearl always has missions near japan which is like 7000 miles away and Since you cant go full speed cause youll run out your fuel you have to go super slow which BLOWS!!!!!
