Except maybe that one...

The most annoying fact on a forum is that:

which is typed on the screen is not necessarily what is read :damn:

I therefore tend to err on the friendly approach, any admonishment, I take light heartedly

I can see that guy, who I couldn't figure out how to use, is going to be well-employed!

LMAO with this thread.

OK, stock game. No mods yet, tho' I'll prolly try RFB (RUB is great fun in SH3).

Dick spots plane.

Dive, Dick, dive!

See Dick at 150'. Dick is safe here - even sharp eyed Japanese observer with 16x glasses can't see Dick so deep.

Dick surfaces. 'Nother plane!

Dick travels underwater in day. Surface at night...ahhh, much better. Fewer headaches.

Better to cruise on surface, with scope up. See more, hunt more, bring enemy to bad end more. But if pesky airmen are feeling their oats that day, travel underwater in underwater travelling boat.

P.S. - do not slug it out with nefarious airmen unless you have absolutly no choice, as in "can't dive" or "too shallow" (why am I in shallow water????).

speaking about airplanes (Noob Alert!) is there a key i can hit so i can view the damn plane when one of my lookouts spot one. I hit the ( . ) key and nothing happens! Just wanna knw whos about to attack me. :)

Kiwi, that was a conscious decision by the devs not to allow that in SH4. You have to locate that plane visually all by yourself. This helps make diving into the default action when visually spotting a plane. It also makes radar your best friend.

Its the best thing to do really. But I do like the air layer in RSRDC and the one in TMO "evil airplanes". Both are eons ahead of the stock layer that shipped with SH4.

Happy Hunting!

Oh yes I forgot the shallows, there are some transits that take two days in 80 feet of water, Yikes! Sometimes I just use the fuel and take the long way around. If its a 12 hour transit I just heave too decks awash at 1 knot wait for night and go flank on the surface. That Pacific is one big ocean.

Happy Hunting!
