Hehe, I ordered it from Amazon this morning.  |
YES!!
Silent Victory is a true gem! I'm reading it for a second time now. It is full of useful descriptions of just about every aspect of the US Pacific Sub Campaign. For instance, I just read last night that the largest Japanese Ship sunk
solely by deck gun was only 3000 tons. That deck guns were mainly used for sampans and such. Little tidbits like that should be helpful when modding the game.
The appendix also has a wealth of information on individual sub patrols, their tonnage sunk, and other data.... A good resource all in all...
