Zulu time/shipping lanes/time zones

frogdog · 12-22-07, 01:18 PM

Is there a shipping lane chart? Is there a time zone chart? Is there a sunrise/sunset chart? When in campaign mode and you are to report in at 0001Z can one receive equal credit...if there is credit...for reporting at 0001 Pearl time? Thanks. Maybe this has been asked/answered previously...if so, my apologies.

Most people who purchased CD version of the game got a papaer map with it. If you search, some people have offered links to download a graphics file of the map which has historical convoy routes on it. Some claim SH4 doesn't use the routes, my experience is you are more likely than not to find targets near there. The in-game map contact reports are very helpful.

As far as time zone, I suggest using the time as displayed on your control panel which is set to the base where you started from and not worrry about calculating time differences.

IIRC subs used to just stick with base time to avoid confusion reguardless of teh time zone they were in.
