Favorite First Boat

Narwhal. I just love gun duels with random merchants. Who needs torpedoes when you can surface and duke it out with cannon? Now if only I could stick a prize crew on a tanker...

Gotta start out of Manila, sure back then us Filipinos were only stewards, but hey, the more I can bring with me the better. And you're right you are closer to the action. Furthermore, even a few sunken transports in the Linguyan means that much more time that those Bastard s on Bataan could hold out. Every little bit helps. And remember the landings start on 22DEC41.
As for the boat type...

shouldn't the s-41 class have a rear torp.tube? somehow i missed the difference between those two classes.

divedeep and speed is the same of what i can say ...

Because of my old habit from my SH1 days of running concurrent careers, I'll do the same in SH4 once I really get underway. I'll have a captain out of each available port in each available type. When one retires or doesn't return, I'll start a new one in his place. I just wish it was like SH3, with the choice of boat being based on the squadron, not the port.

Favorite ? The one that didn't get sunk.

Can't argue with that choice!

Love the Sugar boats!

Nice challenge. I edited the crush depth to make it more realistic, start to take damage around 250 ft now.

Finished my first patrol in a S class. Had to abandon my base at
Cavite. Only sunk a junk with my deck gun.

Looking forward to the second patrol
