Let me say if someone would enjoy watching a simulated bomb going off, more power to them, just not my cup'O'tea. I have nothing against it, I just don't understand the reward. We already know what it looks like from watching actual films, how is watching it simulated here going to look better than watching the real thing? This might be a different story if we're talking flight sims, but this has absolutely nothing to do with submarine simulation. I just don't get it, but to each his own, what ever floats your boat :haha: (pun intended). I suppose someone who served in a real sub might not get the SH4 experience either! :hmmm:

Actually?
It should be a Yes or No answer.
:haha:

All the rest is opinion.
Read the first post.
"Has anyone get close enough to see Little Boy fall in Hiroshima on August 6th 1945?"
:hmmm:
:haha:

Problem is getting close enough to see if it does or doesnt happen means getting past Ol' Bungo Pete and about a zillion search planes with about 2 inches under the keel the whole time.

For the sake of my crew (and my own skin ) I'll just hear about it on the radio.

I'm with you on this one! It's bad enough when you have orders to go in there,let alone a sightseeing tour:88)

Has anyone determined if the months of conventional and then firebombing attacks on Japan with B-29s that preceded the A-bomb are even simulated? A lot of subs had to pull lifeguard duty for those raids and the US carrier strikes on the Inland Sea so it'd make more sense to include them.

I imagine they would be. Gotta see the aerial bombing of Guam prior to the invasion, and picked up a couple pilots aftewards. However, if done accurately, and using the same attack schedule as in real life is hard to say.
