ugh, Bubba, them S-Boats take a TON of time to recharge them batteries - but I've had over months and a year had a ton of
fun giving them a try since resources are SO LIMITED for anything on a S-Boat. I consider skippering one of them harder to learn than manual targeting - a lesson in that for a later day skipper.
Never, EVER, let an S-Boat battery fall down to 25% battery reserve juice. If you do, you'll need 24-36 hours on the surface to get 'em back to 100%.
Since you are new to it, NEVER, ever, cruise more than 1/3 speed from point A to point B - surfaced or below the waves. Save the higher speeds for when you have in sight a target, otherwise you are going to run out of "motion lotion" [fuel] before you get back to a friendly base to refuel/re-stock.
'nuther thing, Bubba ... as you head out on your 1st patrol[s] your starting base WILL BE over run and captured by the enemy and you can not go back there. Plan on making a LONG haul to an Australian base for overall planning - watch your fuel reserves so you can 'git 'thar.
Your friendly refueling/re-stocking bases have a blue anchor tipped at a 45 degree angle - I forget which direction they tip towards but if you unzoom the main map, you can see 'em.
2nd to the last thing to do -
When do you patrol, if you see the enemy, put that s.o.b. on the bottom of the deep blue Ocean with some well planned torpedoe shots.
Last thing you need to do with that S-Boat:
HAVE LOTs of FUN playing the game. Them S-Boats have a ton of difficult challenges and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's the type of game were you have time to THINK instead of quick knee jerk decisions.
Quit monkeying around with the recharge icon in the game. Leave it alone. Its default setting is to recharge the battery - it just takes a ton of game time to so - more than 12 hours!
Enjoy Bubba, Welcome aboard! Sink them ALL!!!
