Bought this game after playing SH3 for a year - loved that game man, and I have always been fascinated by the pacific theater - seemed like a great match. I would have been happy if they had just ported over SH3 with GATO boats and pacific targets into a new map area....instead I have a totally broken product.

First - I got a box with a disc only in it - no key layout, no manual.

I tried a campaign, and after lining up a shot - the torpedoes go nowhere! They 'launch', do not apppear on the map - and I don't get a video when at the target - they just go away. (using assisted targeting mode).

OK, after a few hours of reading and downloading patches and mods, I realize that I was running the native 1.0 version of the game - and was across the dateline. So - installed v1.4 (don't want U-boats - if I did, I would go back to SH3).

INstalled the Trigger Maru Overhauled mod, enabled it with JSGME.

Ran the game - no mod screen, can't tell if it is 'working' although JSGME shows it as enabled.

Tried a prebuilt mission - sub is on the surface. I go to radar - the on/off switch doesn't work. Nothing seems to work in this game!

How do I simply play the game as in SH3, rather than spending so much time tweaking, updating, modding etc - and it still does nothing! Sonar does nothing, Radar does nothing - I guess I could stooge around, and then watch as the torpedoes do nothing, but I have allready spent more time on this game trying to get it installed / setup than I have available to actually play it!

- very, very frustrated here.
