San Francisco Anyone?
 

Ok, seesing how my first campaign fell victim to a corrupted save file, i statred again. But just for laughs, adter completing my objective I set out for San Francisco after refueling at Rabaul.

Sank a ship to the south of Hawaii, arrived at the coast after a looooong cruise at ahead slow with 3/4 of a tank still left.

LOT of TARGETS there - sank 8 ships for over 50000 tons outside 'Frisco and had 4 torps and slightly under 3/4 of a tank left for the trip back to Rabaul. So, not only is it doable but the code has included targets well outside of the Indian Ocean for the more venturesome among us :arrgh!:

Did you try any of the other West Coast ports (if there are any)?

Shell the corner of Haight-Ashbury while you're there. Save the US a cultural headache in about 25 years. :p

Fire a few shots at Alcatraz while you're there.

I wonder if the Atlantic ports work too...

The pre-release photos of SH4 showed fleet boats sailing out of NY harbor. Just a matter of whether any ships spawn there or not.

That's what i meant...

Wasn't that a pre-render? :hmm:

Not sure about that. They also used it as a cut-scene when installing the game. I have never tried to create a mission with the boat starting in NY harbor, but you've peaked my curiousity.

Speaking of mission creation, are there any Carribbean ports to start a mission from? I was thinking of maybe making some what-if patrols from that area.

Just made the whole trip all the way to New York, the Harbor is there, but it's empty... :(

Gah, feck NY. Sail to Kiel like I did in SHIV. The U-Boat pens are still there.

I kinda lost hope after i found nothing in Alexandria (Even though if you look closely near Gibraltar on the map, you'll see a port with a placeholder name), the U-Boat pens may be there, but there's nothing in them

Yeh, but they are still there. :yep: Why would there be anything anyways, just a waste of CPU power to add stuff to the other side of the world. ;)

It's never a waste to add traffic to the Atlantic for us to sink!

There's no atlantic theatre in the game, no atlantic ports, no atlantic missions, so, why? :88)
