In the "Quick Missions" you have the option to choose what type of sub you want to use.
What if you know nothing about US subs?
I am more familiar with U-boats than US subs.
I would like to see US submarine profiles + specs like armament that are used in this game so I know which sub to choose.
I find the museum feature rubbish / waste of space.
It is slow to load and when looking at the US subs there is no specifications information.

Is there a webpage for SH4 with this type of info so I can print it out.
Alternatively I will have to load each type of sub for a Quick Mission, do a screenshot of the interior profile and then make my own recognition and specs chart.

Welcome aboard seaB :DL

Now this is a very informative thread from the UBI SH4 forum, with photos and background info on US WW2 subs

If you can, there's nothing like visiting the real thing. :)
