My first patrol, a complet failure

[Hartmann]

I decided today try to do the first patrol with sh4 after a lot of time only running it occasionally, and still playing sh3.

i departed from manila with a "S" boat and i headed to north but two days after i was jumped by a japanese plane with bombs ,causing a severe damage ,
Main diesel engines destroyed, heavy flooding, and unable to dive.

i was not familiar with the damage control so it was difficult manage the situation, finally i repared the two floodings,and another subsystems like main pumps,but then after a while another planes were incoming,and i decided fight in the surface with AA guns , (where are the AA guns in a "S"boat ?)... more damage in the submarine, one men down in the deck, more planes incoming running in regular patterns....
finally i decided to try a dive, only to periscope depth but the boat slipped backwards to the depths taking more damage until the final screen. (where is the indication about the hull damage ???).

Results: All hand lost, 1000 tons of tonnage sunk ( my boat)

i take a screenshot of the my first complete lost in sh4
