Okay, firstly, only have had SH4 now for a day (only had SH3 for about a week).

Currently running Trigger Maru 1.6, Reflections on the Water and Captain Midnight's CBS Radio. Second mission in is to recon Yokohama (or something around there), so I'm off on my merry way. Approaching the Japan mainland after being in TC.. dive to periscope depth to take a little listen in to see what's ahead and I can sence at least 3 ships 30 degrees to port, long range. Surface and put the pedal down and then get visual of 3 ships, way to far away to actually work out what they are (but curiosity get's the better of me and I free cam it.. passenger liner or some sort, large cargo and a DD).

Like a good captain, I radio in the contact report. Reply comes in short time later basically saying 'Well done, thank you for reporting, we'll send someone out to deal with it. Break off your tracking of the convoy and RTB (I havn't even finished my mission or fired a single torpedo yet.. lol)'.

Do I break off and continue my mission? I don't know if disobeying a direct order like this will get me punished..

I know I'm going to struggle to catch up with them.. but that passenger transport thing looks way too juicy!!!!

BTW.. first mission was photo recon of Hiroshima!!!!

I'm like,WTF? I stumble across a convoy on my way there (never had a convoy in SH3.. but I get one in my first mission on SH4!! lol).. one escort with 2 large, 2 medium and a smaller merchant.. the escort got called away to where I was when I had a couple of aircraft swoop me before I got to the course of the convoy, and I found myself perfectly placed in the middle of the convoy's route, 2 passing infront of me, 3 passing aft.. sitting submerged.. fired off the 2 aft torpedos and 2 fore.. I think I only got a hit with each though (still getting used to the TDC in SH4 (full realism), surfaced and let the deck gun have a jolly time. Still didn't sink any of the merchants before the escort came back.. but either my deck gun disabled him or he rammed one of the smaller merchants, I submerged and then fired a torp from about 1,500.. he was gone.. then I just practiced manual TDC'ing on the merchants.. only took down both the big ones..

Did end up finishing the mission as well.. just.. bloody nervous work going into the lions mouth like that.. ON MY FIRST MISSION!!!! lol
