disappointed so far

[AirborneCZ]

so I have eventually bought SHIV last week, patched to ver 1.2, played two nights and Im really p....d so far...

no Bernard, weapon officer gone (i secretly hoped that even w manual targeting off there will be an option for need of visual ship ID)....and no navigator officer to count you maximum estimated range to travel on current speed...

but worse: first career mission from Brisbane I go patrol somehwere around Salmon Islands, I finish patrol, wasting all my eels, go back to Brisbane and just in port I notice Im supposed to patrol in another area... Ok i resupply at port, go there, get another 7 ships, running down on all resources I decide to go to Midway, when I reach it they order me to attack merchant ships...

didnt they read my reports on how many of them I sank or what???

so I take looong way back to salmon islands from Midway again, save the mission after I destroyed another bunch of boats, load game next day and guess what happens? Saved game wont load!!! ((

So i decide to start another career in 1943 knowing now what to expect from HQ.... After another long weeks and real life long hours of happy hunting I set off to resuply for this forward base in Solmon Islands koz they send me to take some photos of enemy fleet and guess what?? Bloody submarine doesnt stop at the end of drawn course on 128x time compression and while Im clicking as manias on resupply button (to get it off screen) I get messages about taking damage, sub going off-shore to sand beach and career ends with medals but everyones dead!!!!



so after about 12 hours of playing I wasnt able to finish single patrol.

really frustrating, not counting occasional graphics freeze ups....even if I match all game requirements
