thank you for your reply , I was starting to desperate. I start at midway.
how can I start at manila?
and what you say is, it's like real life when I get the message that manila is actually attacked , if I go there, I would find Action?

Thank you very much man!

When you start your career, choose the Asiatic Fleet and you will start at Manilla, Surbaya or Freemantle, depending on what date you start.

If you start later in the war, (June 42 I think), you will get radar which will aid you in finding ships. If your starting from Pearl or Midway, head over to the Luzon Strait and you will find some willing participants. You can also lurk around the entrances to harbors and have a lot of luck.

Now get your butt in that submarine and help us win this war! :salute:

Another pointer/reminder: don't neglect your hydrophones!

Occasionally you should man the hydrophones yourself and do a full sweep..it's amazing how much more you can hear than your deaf soundman!

I can sometimes pickup sounds that don't even register a green light and the green light triggers long before your sonarman actually calls out a contact.
