Who is Running Fremantle???
 

OK I am just ranting so bear with me. I decide to take a Tambor class boat out of the Asiatic fleet in 1941. Great first patrol, bagged one Kongo and an escort carrier pulling the vulgar 69 attack on the task force...) Well my next mission is an Intel, I complete it and then guess what? I get another one in the shallow waters of Indonesia. I barley complete that one with the boat intact and then I get to patrol the shallow waters of the Jawa sea. Why would these numbskulls put a boat on suicide missions when the first patrol was awesome up neaer the Phillipines? Solution....I transferred to Pearl....:arrgh!:

LOL

I have had similar thoughts on occasion, Frame...

Your lucky they accepted your transfer :yep:

I try hard to go to Brisbane and stay there, because I found the same thing happening to me.

I see you did not notice they call it Jawa Sea.(should be Java Sea)

Wait, wait, wait... you said that you used a Tambor-class with Asiatic Fleet in 1941? There are only a S-18, a Porpoise-class, a Salmon-class, and a Sargo-class. I don't see Tambor on the list. I think you misunderstood the sub class or did you modify it yourself?! :o

I got the date wrong I am either in 42 or 43 cuz I wanted SJ radar. :salute:

i use brisbane shorter trips or:hmmm::hmm2:

You dont have to report in for another mission you can simply freely patrol and RTB when you want.

I've done some good work in the Java sea. Took out a whole convoy of 6 ships and a pair of Destroyers for good measure early in my current carreir (currently my captain is in Aug 44). High speed surface attacks are the key here. Also if you incounter a very well defended conovy don't attack right away, shadow it until it gets to deeper waters of the South China Sea or Celebs Sea and make a dived attacked.

I have not performed some mission before, but it seems like I wind up with them again very soon. I have not been too successful with surface attacks I seem to get picked up by radar most of the time. Eh, I admit it I have a phobia of shallow water...:woot:

Inquiring minds want to know...tell us your strategy.

Urge

yes please tell us i have some trouble whit surface attacks i dont even use the deck gun its like killing a man whit some grass i rader use 40 mm AA gun:D:yeah: then put to HE and fire at the deck of any skip they go boom in half a minute trust me. try it.:up:

You must be playing the stock v1.5 - in RFB you can pound them senseless and they still float forever. They may burn a little but the deck gun just doesn't complete the kill. Figure TMO is the same... that one is next for me.

i use stock v1.4 and i DONT use the deckgun i use the 40mm AA gun:smug:

first i use radar :ping: then i go to p depth follow them surface i go to 40 mm AA gun and fire at the conning tower.:up:
