Balao Class

longam · 06-07-07, 07:49 PM

I just got offered a Balao Class sub over my Gato so I took it. Well I can now dive in 45 seconds instead of the usual 1 min 30 secs on average. I went on a duck hunt and found many targets that were fish food without a hitch or scratch. Hmm cant wait to see what the under sea hunting is like.

In my opinion the Balao is the best class in SH-IV..
Quick diving, 10 torpedo tubes, long submerge time..

I love this boat..

Oh ya, going to love this boat. With the Gato there was no point in diving when AC came. About have the time they would give me damage before I could get under.

Of course with the dual 40mm guns on the balao who needs to dive.

On the subject of the Balao and dual guns - in the museum it is shown as having fore and aft deck cannons, but it won't let me have them in the game. Is this just a bug in the museum feature?

Cheers

That is strange because I installed them the first day.

Me too, cannot get fore deck gun installed either. It is one OR the other. The other thing, on crew management I have the two boxes to put gunners into for the two AA guns but no box for the aft deck gun - weird, as if it takes damage I cannot man it to get it repaired.

dizza · 06-20-07, 11:46 AM

I am having the same problem with no crew slots showing for the deck guns. I can't put two guns on the boat either.

got one last night as well

. radar....finally

. could be the guns referred to are AA and not 2 deck guns?

V.C. Sniper · 06-20-07, 01:59 PM

The Balao class is my favorite World War 2 submarines!!! Ultra long range, can be upgraded to pack 2 huge 5/25" guns, pack with the highest tech gadgets, ultra deep diving, ultra fast diving rate, and can stay submerge for a looong time!! Go Balao class!
