Hi,

Does SH4 model the earth's curvature so you can do a sort of parabolic route to get to Japan from Hawaii?
I run at 9-12kts (which sould be the most efficient speed for a Gato) and by the time I get to Japan, I need to get back.
Last time I left with more than half the fuel but I found a couple of ships, so with the manouvering and all that I didn't have enough fuel left to get to Midway to refuel!

Thanks.
