Would you try it, enter the Inland sea?

WilhelmSchulz. · 02-21-07, 05:42 PM

When you get SHIV would try to tage your sub into the Inland Sea? I assume its like taking your sub into the Irish Sea in SHIII.

The Inland sea is shown on this map.

Inland Sea, Sea of Japan; both are shallow, both are dangerous. I gladly went there in SH1 (actually I had no choice-you're teleported to your patrol zone) and did my best. If assigned to go there in SH4, you bet I'll swallow my fears and die like a man (hopefully no one will hear me cry "mommy").

CCIP · 02-21-07, 06:11 PM

I'd take a crack at it for the challenge. Japanese ASW doesn't impress me, though I sincerely hope the game won't give it to me as the main patrol grid anyway

hyperion2206 · 02-21-07, 06:14 PM

If I was ordered to go there I would do it, but if I had the choice: NO WAY!!!!! It's to shallow and you can bet that i'll be heavily guarded by escorts, planes and not to meantion the mine fields.

I would stupidly go and do it, probably more than once, and typically I would'n't learn from my mistakes either. Just like almost every career I ever did in SH3 ended in the channel or Scapa flow.

Haha, the forbitten fruit appeal! :p

Even if the SHIV map has it marked as 'dangerous area' and even if they put a "yankee go home" sign on the shore, people will only want to go into it more. Just note the number of English Channel threads on the SHIII forum

Even a lowly mine sweeper can be the end to your patrol, but near the end of the war it would be fun to give it a try ...
especially Tokyo Bay is crying out to me.

Like Steve said in SH1 it was a regular thing and it was easy to hide from the enemy in SH1 or just sink them and move on ...

I hope AI has two levels ...

badaboom · 02-21-07, 06:39 PM

Would I go?..........NO!I'll go.....ROUGUE SUB......and wait,hunt,stalk in the deep,I'll keep my crew alive and return them safely to there sweethearts!!.....after the war everyone will forget I disobeyed a direct order and I'll excape a court marshall once again!!HAha

......I think I need to get out more

Drokkon · 02-21-07, 09:43 PM

On route to the inland sea we encountered 4 tankers strung out in a line sailing towards Truk. We fired all 26 topedoes at them not scoring a single hit. You need to fix these things. Requesting a resupply at Pearl.

Ducimus · 02-21-07, 09:46 PM

I'm with Drokkon.

peterloo · 02-21-07, 09:48 PM

I'd like to go there before 1945...
In 1945, American B-29 scatered numberous mines everywhere, and going to the wrong port, will speel doom for my sub

Zero Niner · 02-21-07, 09:57 PM

Better still, for those with a death wish, Tokyo Bay beckons!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

In SH1, the Yellow Sea & Sea of Japan were the patrol zones I dreaded the most!.

Captain Krunch · 02-21-07, 10:16 PM

In real life, it doesn't look like many American skippers tried it. Below is a photo of part of a wall display at the Sub Museum at Groton, CT, showing where ships were sunk (The circles are cargo ships, triangles are tankers, and the subs are, well, US subs lost). Only three sinkings just north of the Bungo Suido, and that's it.

Yeah, I agree. Going into a shallow inlet should be very risky, the player should not take it litely.

Boris · 02-22-07, 02:21 AM

Would there be any juicy targets in there anyway? It'd probably be just fishing boats.

As for Tokyo bay, hell yeah I'm going to try it... I can't wait to see the white peak of mount fuji in my scope. It had better be there
