Submarine School - any point??

Deathfrombelow23 · 03-22-07, 04:20 PM

What purpose does the Submarine School in the game serve, other than to familiarize yourself with the game? Does it earn you any extra renown like in SH-3? Also... does anyone know how you get a new boat in career mode... do you have to "upgrade" like in SH3 whenever you're ready... or do they "offer" it to you ala SH 1?? Thanks for the help!

I guess you get renown. I did all but the convoy attack and started with 1000 renown.

I haven't noticed.

Although it's good manual torperdo practice on that one cruiser moving across your bow.

Has anyone been able to use the stopwatch to get target's speed?

Yes. But the answer is not the one you want

The automagic aid to get speed from the stopwatch is broken.

The main purpose seemed to me to be an option to become familiar with the sims interface before launching a career if you want.

I don't believe you get extra points like in SH3. In fact, I think I saw in the OPTIONS menu a multiple selection of Renown levels that you can choose to start your Career off with.

You get 100 renown for doing the school. Applies to all profiles, so you dont
need to do it again if you change your player profile.

In SH3 the Naval Academy portion you could tell by looking at the main screen what missions you had completed, and which ones you hadn't.
Does SH4's Sub School have a similar functionality?

Dont' know, but I just choose 5000 renown for myself when I started my career...bought upgrades and filled my crew with it.

I guess this means you had the right connections in the Navy?

Getting 5000 renwon at the beginning of the career means you're a son of an admiral, getting 100 renown at the beginning means you've slept with the daughter of an admiral.:p:rotfl:

Or maybe a player gets only 100 renown because they were not very good?
