Default YOU MEAN THAT'S it???

Spoiler Alert: We win the war!

So I'm cruising of the coast of Okinawa in August of 45. Get a radio announcement on the 12th that we dropped an A-bomb yesterday! Then (as near as I can tell) at 0001 on the 15th allofasudden BAM. Goes to end game screen, and in little characters it says "The war ended".

That's IT? Where's the bands? Where's the Parades? Where's the suicidal destroyer that refused to acknowledge the message?

Man, talk about anticlimactic. But hey, I survived to the end of the war! Take that, Ducimus! Of course, now I have to install your latest patch
...and start over
...at the beginning of the war
...in an S-boat.

Been nice knowing everybody.

I really, really wanted to get on a Japanese radio frequency and broadcast, "All your base are belong to us"! Then I could have sued for copyright infringement 40 years later.

Boy, are S-boats a giant leap backwards! Where's my radar? Who took my stern tubes?

It can differ a little depending on where you are, in port or not, but sadly not much to it. I was hoping to pull my sub into Tokyo Bay for some SS's.

You know there is that ending cut scene / movie. I'm assuming it played for you. That, is a heck of a lot more then what we got in Sh3. All you got was a radio message and that was it.

I had the same issue with SH3. it would have been nice to have some sort of ending other than a Porky Pig type

Default you were lucky

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch.... bla, bla, bla. At least you made it to the end of the war. My computer motherboard ended my career with the blue screen of death at the precise moment one of Ducimus' destroyers laid a depth charge down on top of me. All I can do now is visit the forums and listen to you guys whine about a game's ending that I will never see. %&#@*! You will get a victory parade in SF when after you return to port. That is credit enough.

Heh. Thanks for putting it back in perspective!

Hmmm, just HOW realistic is Ducimus making this sim, anyway?
