So when your out of fuel...that's it....?

Even if your in home waters? I was within a couple hundred miles of Midway when I ran out returning from patrol. No way to radio out the situation for friendly help so does that mean I've blown that career?

Reload the last saved game. Select a speed of two knots and limp to midway.

You know, before this I used to play ‘Sub Command’ and “688i” and found it so difficult to work out the sonar contacts, identifying targets, and evading enemy subs and I always was getting clobbered. So I figure maybe a WWII sub sim would be easier and fun. Ha!

Now I need to brush up on my basic trig to fire a torpedo at a target –no acoustical acquisitioning in Mk XIV torpedoes!

And no nuclear fuel! I need to better plot my fuel burn rate to make sure I make it home –an pray the weather isn’t against me!

I was surprised how much time whiz’s buy when I play this sim. 2 hours felt like 15 minutes after being so busy with various calculations. Am I having fun? Oh, yes

Should you be unable to charge batterys fully,turn off battery charging. When charging you use one shaft power to charge. Two screws give better MPG.

/speed/distance.

Wow, is that actually modeled into the sim? That could be what did me in. Would charging shut off automaticaly when batteries reach 100% or do I need to 'click' it off?
