Why would missions start before the US is at war?

Although it'd be cool to have a pearl mission (as Tautog, for example, which got an air kill during the attack) - I don't think that's a requirement.

Haha, what war?

It's an American subsim; there weren't no war for the Americans at the time - nor the Japanese, at least at sea (though China was an ongoing issue of course).

So, sure, you can probably change the date - but eh, what would you do? Cruise around the pacific soaking in the sunshine and waving to neutral Japanese merchants?

How many enemy ships did American submarines sink between September 1939 and December 1941? None, because we weren't at war.

How? You are playing as a U.S. Navy Submarine Commader. U.S. Submarines were not involved in the war until Dec.7 of 1941. You have from Dec of '41 until aug of '45, thats plenty of time to get sinkings in a very target rich Pacific Ocean.

No, no, NO. You spend the time crusing from island to island educating the Hula girls about torpedos....

Gosh, you guys don't know anything!

There was a secret submarine war that started in 1939. That is how the U.S. forced Japan to attak Pearl Harbor later on. The OSS was sinking Japanese tankers secretly outside Tokyo bay.

The submarine used, the USS Noam Chomsky, was commanded by a guy named John Stockwell, and later went on to run cocaine from Laos to Berkely and Dallas in the 1950s and 60s to fund CIA activities. When Kennedy tried to stop these activities, the rouge submarine and its CIA crew used the mess boy, Bernard, and gave him a new name, L.H. Oswald, and then sent him on a patsy mission to 'get' the President, which he badly flubbed, of course.

Later this most infamous of GATOs spirited the real Saddam Hussein and the Iraq WMDs out to the new Cobra lair near the North Pole. Cynthia Mckinney was going to blow the lid on all of this, so she had to go too.

Don't any of your guys watch the History Channel?

Oh wow. I am sorry but I just laughed my head off at this.

And so soon after stating in another thread that too many people have a U-Boat centric view of things.

The game needs to start - in the Pacific - when the US is AT WAR! It would be quite the international incident for you to be going around in your S-boat sinking Japanese ships in - say the summer of 1940.

All the torps fired by this boat circle back on it - to strike a blow against US Imperialism.
