Thanks, all, for the info!

Sound like upgrades are the best path to surviving. Now that I've finished my second patrol, I have enough renown to upgrade to a IID. Considering all the enemy air I keep running into, shaving 10 sec off my dive time will be a nice upgrade.

I think I'll stick with the built-in campaign for a bit before upgrading to GWX -- stock SH3 is still "cool" for me, so when I finally do install it, it will be like getting an upgraded version of the game for free! Replayability FTW!

And thanks for the welcome. I was so glad to stumble on this site. I'd been fooling around with SH3 for a while, but had gotten frustrated because I could never seem to catch up with anything, much less sink it. Then I found "The Hunt" which illustrates how to intercept a contact. I love maps and math, so I loved doing all the plotting. And then it felt like magic when I got there and ta-da - there was my target! I'm still using automatic targeting and a lot of pausing to make sure I'm doing it right, but I look forward to when I can bump the realism levels a bit more.

So anyway, I owe a ton of thanks to everyone who contributed to this site!
