Did I miss something at the end of my campaign?

Well, maybe I'll send this to UBISoft for use in the upcoming Silent Hunter VI ("Newbs in the Bathtub")

Orders to steam to Tokyo Bay and when you arrive, the US fleet is at anchor, would be a great ending and thinking it could be maniupulated to do so.The modders could tell us .Or if in asiatic station, orders to return to base and game doesnt end until you arrive in port unless youre not back by say 1 September 45.

I really like that idea, Bubblehead. My dad's ship, the USS Tamalpais, was in Tokyo Bay for the formal surrender, and it was evidently quite a sight to behold. Of course, only the shooting part of the war was over. The task of rebuilding was only beginning to be appreciated.

I stay in touch with my dad's shipmates, and one of them sent me these shots of their ship riding at anchor close by the USS Missouri.

Like I said, it must have been really something to see.

I had the same issue with SH3.

Both games are pretty emotionally draining. It would be nice for some closure other than the programming credits.

Especially SH4 as we are on the winning side in that game.

Very coo flatsixes that your father was there and you have kept in touch with his friends. Wish I had time I would volunteer to do the traffic, just need a modder to fix it so that it shows up and can move into Tokyo Bay for the Surrender in Sept 45.Could prob be done.....prob have to make sure japanese airbases and ships exit at right date, US ships appear at correct date, make sure the campaign wont end game until say September 4 at midnight.

Edit: I just put a request out in the modders forum for someone with the know how to implement the changes.I volunteered to do the harbor traffic for Tokyo Bay, just need someone with the knowledge on how to make it all come together, I majored in pre law and legal studies in college, the computer courses I took didnt cover this stuff, wish I had been into SH 4 a long time ago, I would have.Oh well.Hopefully someone will be willing to work this out.Any materials anyone has on the ships that were in Tokyo Bay on surrender and positions in the bay, send me a link.Want it to be as accurate as possible.

I have always wondered. In both German and American campaigns in SHIV, what were to happen if you refuse the order to end offensive actions. Rather, you continue on an endless patrol hunting ships, if possible. Has anyone ever tried something like that?

Simmy · 02-21-13, 07:54 PM

That was a post I made at Ubiloss.
What a friggin let down the ending was. I mean did anyone care at all that we just fought a war that cost 400,000 American lives?
Of course the Japanese or the Germans didn't care considering the losses they took. But Ubibucks is an American company, or are they?

not in the movie "On the Beach?" / just kidding.

OTOH the way I play this game i'd likely to be taken into the jailhouse by MPs, or shot on site, if I made it back, and that's just one mission

. hehhe (mmm, reminds me of Das Boot, 'tis ending of mine, 'cept the friendly fire bit).
