Default Re: Landlubber Guide

Thank you all for the suggestions.

My inital thought was "just make a few missions" but i am overwhelmed by the game. i figured expecting to figure out how to program a mission as well might be biting off more than i can chew. but is not to complex ?

The helo seems to be the most basic of the platforms
as for the victor mission i cant get shot at ( YAY ! )
so its is a good place to play with / learn the sonar stuff.

thanks for tip regarding quick sinking of subs with helo.

a coupla times i located him surrounded him with buoys got CLOSE in behind with dipper then sent 1 ping to confirm pos (under a mile) and send the torp right in to his wake
however , most times i flail about pathetically in this attempt, get way to many sonar lines and just get confused / frustrated.

this is a long way from aod ss2 sh1 sh2 and dc !!

1 odd problem in the kilo and i think other subs as well ..
when i use the handle to rotate the peri - it goes the OPPOSITE direction (??!!)
thank goodness for the little compass thingy so i can mouse about
