where is the action?

She-Wolf · 05-08-13, 02:28 PM

Hello Subsimmers, have just finished 4th patrol in my current career and gathered a few more medals for my crew, and am now being sent off to Convoy College to wait for further orders - which is fine, except that I am getting a bit bored taking down single targets and would like to know where the action is in April 1942. I did have the link to a website which would point me to that sort of info, but can't locate it now. Could someone please give it again? Tanjooberrymutts.

I guess it depends on mods, but I am playing in May '42 now and finding some nice convoy action off the west coast of Borneo. You have to get into the shallows close to the coast, not necessarily in sight of land, but in the 300 to 100 ft depth areas. Lightly guarded, good size merchants. This is in TMO 2.5 without RSRD.

I'd say from where you are just head south down the west side of Luzon and look for stuff coming north.

By the end of April you would want to be heading east for Coral Sea.

That is very helpful Howard - all I could find was stuff about the Doolittle raid, which did not seem to be something I could get involved with. I shall follow your advice - thank you!

He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him. Now if you apologize like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
