oh yeah, stupid me fired it right up after i read the thread. spent all night on it.

the subs attack you immediately making life difficult. they even attack before you get the female "you have been counter-detected" notification.

so like you said, idk if its prudent to just attack them as soon as you can acquire a solution, or not, because if you dont they have no problem going after you.

after some aggrivating battles, and getting my towed sonar blown off, i killed the 2 oscar and the 2 victor subs. sometimes there is also a typhoon that spawns as well.

the surface ships just stayed stationary in one spot after that. i id-ed a few of them.

i got the 2nd radio message saying i had failed to be undetected. no kidding.

then i tried to launch the spec ops. they disembarked ok, but they got stuck on the beach, just to the east of the headquarters. that was pretty much game over because its one of the critical objectives.

idk if the secret is to just dive as low as possible and travel at a knot or two to remain undetected. i dont know if its possible to remain undetected.

whoever's boneheaded idea this was to make this mission be the first one should be keelhauled. or they should at least fix it so it isnt messed up.

makes me wonder if everyone that has ever played this game just not gotten past the first mission?

how can you unlock the rest of the campaign if the first mission is nerfed?

edit=

i went to the sonalysts website looking for help. they make it sound so easy.

from what i gather the order should be as follows:

1. get the spec ops to the base w/o detection.

2. then detect (sonar?) and visually identify (periscope?) the surface ships.

3. prevent them from leaving, but dont sink them. heavily damaging one unit should do the trick. very vague.

sounds like a sneak attack on one specific vessel is in order. guessing by using a large salvo of SAMs and or torpedoes.

the biggest problem are the enemy submarines, which will attack as soon as they even think you may be there.
