What will be your first command?

Captain_Jack · 02-27-07, 09:09 PM

So have you given any thought to when you want to start a career or what your first boat will be?

I have an urge to begin my first career in an "S" Boat operating out of the Philippines in Dec 1941. Lingayen Gulf is calling!

"S" boats hold no appeal for me - old, slow, low number of tubes, no fun toys.

Nahhh.

I'll take a Gato and start when the campaign was heating up.

Barkhorn.

I'll take what's available after the attack on Pearl Harbor....

I'm afraid I'll just pick whatever is default. I knew a lot more and was more interested in the Atlantic war than the Pacific to be honest.

Reverse 1/3 on two engines...Im hoping to be backing out of a sub dock on the east coast or Mare Island.

I'll probably try a Sugar Boat out of the PI to start off with. It just seems to bring back original SH memories to me, and besides, I always enjoyed the "They Were Expendable" movie with John Wayne.

Will be interesting to see if the battles on Bataan, Corregidor, etc, are in-game. I hope so since the story of Bataan's Battling Bastards is quite the story, and like so many other events, seems to be forgotten or unknown by many.

I, for one, am hoping to disrupt a Japanese landing force or two

I want a Pig Boat to start, kinda like old skool and having to work your way up the chain of command :-)

Buggins · 03-01-07, 07:12 AM

I'll probably start with the first sub I see on career mode, I'm not really well informed on the pacific submarine war so I'll have a lot of fun just finding out how things work down there.

I'm really excited about these new types of mision and more active campaign rather than simply patrolling particular squares and hoping a convoy pops up in strike range.
