Dude, you have no idea! They have these barrels that they throw into the water...

On a more helpful note, make sure to check out the mods section. Apparently they make SH5 playable.

There is a stickied forum thread that is a huge collection of tips and advice. You should check it out before diving into the full game. Sadly, the user manual is pathetic and of almost no use. Happily, almost everything you'll need to know, to get the most out of this terrific game, is on the thread I mentioned, and scattered throughout this SubSim Radio Room! There are quite a few spoilers, however. If you're the kind of player that likes to discover things for himself, this may ruin a few surprises.

Happy hunting!
