Got To See Midway (2019 FilM Again
 

And found the part of the Nautilis interesting, being kept down by a Jap DD but them ha to steam off to catch up to the fleet leaving a noticeable wake.


As well as leading Torpero Bombers and Dauntless' right to the IJF fleet.


Given that, could you almost say a sub won the battle of Midway?

I nominate this for :subsim: post of the year!:arrgh!:

Midway new is almost pure fiction. If you want accuracy watch the original. I tried the Nautilus in SH4, it was very slow diving, sluggish and basically a none starter.

While the air strikes from Midway were going on, the American submarine Nautilus (Lt. Commander William Brockman) found herself near the Japanese fleet, attracting attention from the escorts. Around 08:20, she made an unsuccessful torpedo attack on a battleship and then had to dive to evade the escorts.

Narwhal and Nautilus were old by most standards. They were 10-12 years old when the war started and it showed. They only lasted a while before the Gatos and Balaos started to take up the mantle against the Japanese shipping and Navy, leaving those big boats to do odd jobs, mostly bringing supplies for guerrillas and raiders to hostile shores. As luck would have it, they both had some mighty 6" guns for bombarding purposes too!
So, slow diving, sluggish, non-starters may be kind of my thing :03:
