After playing all those years on SH 1, Pacific Aces, and then SH 4, I finally made it through the entire war alive!! First time ever! I always ended up getting sunk or killed before. This time I made it!
My career totals were 27 patrols, 791,737 tons sunk (yes I was playing essentially stock, but I did have dud torpedoes on), and 16 medals. Most of that tonnage was merchants. While I racked up some DDs on my last few patrols, my only major warship was a Fuso class battleship.
This career started in Manila, before Dec. 7th, using my Pre Pearl Harbor Career Start. After a suitable time to bask in the glow of my achievement, I'm going to see if I can do it starting in Pearl.
