Couple of questions - New player

08-31-09, 04:07 PM

I have had a look around the forum to try and find the answers to my questions but I'm not having any luck with the majority of them.

1.) The IXC submarine has optional canning towers (1941). 1 with 2 light flak and 1 with 1 heavy and 1 light. Not sure on which one would be best, I saved the game and tried both of them out. The problem is the tower with the heavy and light has just one AA gun? Am I missing something here?

2.) Battleships and Aircraft Carriers. Are these roaming the seas in game? Can I engage them and if so, where is best to look. Even if I can't attack, I would love to see one through the periscope.

3.) The 88mm vs the 105mm deck gun. I thought the 105 would down things a little quicker but I can't seem to notice any difference? Where is best to aim and where/when to use AP vs HE.

4.) Stupid question but can the Flak guns sink ships? I know you can destroy their visible cargo but wondering if it can do more.

5.) Is SH4 worth buying? I am playing SH3, Hearts of Iron 3, Tiger vs T-34 and IL2 Sturmovik (WWII fan in case you couldn't guess!). Will SH4 grip me just as much as SH3?

Thank you for any replies in advance

Edit: I am playing Vanilla. Game is mod free.
