PTO....

I just always found the Pacific war more interesting because it was a naval war due to well the vastness of the Pacific.I was a naval aviation junky when I was a kid, growing up in Pensacola which is the "Cradle of Naval Aviation" prob explains a lot.Grew up visting the museum there, knew a lot of Navy pilots(well aviators) etc The carrier battles from the desperation of Miday, Eastern Solomons, etc to the overhwhelming defeat of the IJN at "The Great Mariannas Turkey Shoot" , PTO just fascinated me.Now ETO did as well, esp the strategic bombing campaign with B-17's but was always a PTO guy.I remained interested but grew away from it I suppose but still played CFS II on a regular basis, being PTO I just loved it.

So a couple years ago I was in a bad car accident, was laid up all summer basically, bored out of my mind.My gf at the time saw SH 4 at best buy and knowing I liked history etc, she purchased it for me.I always found sub warfare interesting, grew up visiting the USS Alabama battleship in Mobile and remember the USS Drum was there, always thought it was "cool' So played the game and began doing some reading etc on sub warfare, history and the books by O Kane, Fluckey etc and have been hooked since.


I played OM to give U boats a try and enjoyed it but just not the same as I enjoy PTO, so I prefer PTO.
