Last night, with a fresh install, new 1.4 patch and new TM mod, I start a new career in a Gato-class. I depart from Pearl with a mission to photo recon a harbor. After sinking one 4,000 ton ship, evading a couple angry escorts, and diving from numerous planes, I finally make it to Bungo Suido. I timed my entry niclely (or so I thought) and I entered the Striaht submerged at 100 ft just after sunset. As soon as I started making it through the Straight, BAM, instant-death screen. I was baffled. No aircraft sounds...no DD sounds...nothing. I started to think that perhaps there was a mine? I've heard tales of mined areas, but I've never seen one. Shis time I used the externam camera to try to look around, but it was FAR too dark underwater to see. Even stopping my engines imediately after reload...BAM- instant death screen. Have I hit my first mine? Or does this sound like some kind of bug?
Thanks, folks,
Howler
