Will do, if i need too. Dont got anything im thinking about at the moment ;)

By the way, tater about the training missions. Those from Construction where you test our submarine etc? stuck on the deep diving test, sub wont go past 350 feet, target is 500 feet.

Can you drag the depth gauge needle lower? Or use the d key? Can't remember, think it's in the readme.

Depth gauge goes too 450 feet, fortunatly there was a button for Deep diving, allowing me to go past, unfortunately i went to far down and got squashed, but its working now :)

Welcome aboard
 

All new Subsim captains get a date with my girlfriend's sister! She is the one on the right!

Welcome aboard. Dont know if anyones warned you about Benard yet, careful of him. He's crazy and usually causes more trouble than he's worth.

Ber, who?

Bernard is sort of the resident scapegoat crewmember who we blame when things go wrong on our sub. He started out with the U-Boats in SH3 but he seems to have migrated here. Just think Gilligan without the intellect and charm.

Last known artist's conception...

I saw this name pop up here and there, but now I'm confused. Is he a real forum meber (being thick as he gets) or just a running gag on these boards (judging by Torplexed's last post)?

Okay how do I make beer on a sub and pickup a woman after warpatrol :D :woot: :woot:

he's the gremlin you blame everything on that is really dumb or unexplained

myself, i like pvt. snafu better (situation normal all fracked up).

Mines and Submarine nets. Heard people talking about these, were can i find them?

They usually find you. :)

I think they are part of one of the mods. I've seen them in the Marshall Islands.

Oh alright, playing with Trigger maru at the moment, havent found any. Perhaps that is because Destroyers kill me before iv been able to complete any Recon missions, ever.

Generally speaking they find you :yep:

Alot of the smaller island harbors in the asian chain are netted off.

If you ever run into one trust me you will know it.

Are there any nets or mines around the major Japanese naval bases like Hiroshima and Kure? I keep reading about people sneaking into these harbors and sinking major warships without much difficulty. Seems like it should be a mission nigh well impossible given how well protected these bases were in RL.

The nets are in a few mods now, plus stock. In stock, there are VERY few, and in harbors.

In my campaign mod that was in TM for a while, I added nets to Atolls to represent the REEFS that the game required, but did not have (PTO without reefs is like the ATO without... waves). Lurker took the idea and ran with it, adding even more.

So the nets are to fill in for reefs, which limited access to anchorages to a few passes per atoll (which are easier to guard than 360 degrees of open water).

It should be. It isn't. I'm working on that right now, actually :)

Do you get shacked if you run into a net? was cruising at about 60 feet of depth and i died, dont know from what but i died ;p

Yes, a collision with a net can easily sink you.

Remember, in most places in the modded game, nets are REEFS. Hitting a net at speed means going aground at speed.

Plot your course around shallow waters.

Really, if all the reefs were in, or even faked where it's hard to find good maps, the pacific has even more dangerous places. The entire South China Sea is bloody shallow as it is, imagine all the coasts, islands, etc, with lines of reefs.
