Worth The Effort!

Well, I had to change my video card and get some more RAM but now the game runs like a charm! Had one crash, but I think that might be more due to me fumbling with the keyboard in a darkened room rather than any flaws in the game engine.

Finished my first patrol of my career in the grand and glorious S-35 (it sure ain't no Type VIIC from SH3 which has kinda spoiled me). It seems like an ok boat for whacking helpless merchantmen sailing unescorted (I got 5 for 20000+ tons 1st patrol), but it might be more challenging to be in while getting worked over by a destroyer.

The whole setup (sound/visuals) are superb! Luckily alot of the hot keys/commands are similiar to SH3 so I was rolling along nicely with minimal familiarization. But I'm wondering if the gauges showing the subs status (fuel/battery etc) work. I adjusted the Options before starting up to realistic fuel etc but the fuel level or battery level always seem full. I try it again before firing up the next mission in the career.

As well, the depth gauge (expanded or unexpanded) seems to get cut off so I can't see a level beyond 200 ft (not that my S boat is gonna come close to that) but it is a minor irritant.

Other than that, I'm pleased and now I think I'll go back for some more

When you start a career and inside the office go to the left side of the screen to the bookcase. Move your mouse around the bookcase until you find the options book. Open it and then check all the options you want in the game play option page. This should take care of it. I believe in career start mod it reverts back to the easy settings. I believe this anyway. Once you have done this in the office and set sail, it will save your settings for every patrol thereafter.

I'll try that next!
