August 9, 1943
USS Gato SS-212
Pearl Harbor
Capt. Ryan Reynolds

We have completed our patrol. We sank over 50,000 tons of merchant shipping, as well as a lone destroyer. The war correspondent went back to the states to produce the film that he made of me in action and publish his paper. For this patrol, I was awarded a Silver Star, and the RADM is talking about a desk job for me!! No way will I go behind a desk!

We have yet to receive new orders.

Signed,
Capt. Ryan Reynolds

USS Guardfish SS-217 is overdue. Last contact was 22APR43 off the Caroline Islands and she is presumed lost with all hands.

USS Sailfish SS-192 Asiatic Fleet

Finished second patrol. Sank one battleship, one heavy cruiser and eight marus.

All torpedoes expended. Broom flag flying high.

Docked in Surabaya 14 January 1942.

NOTE: Using contact exploder with slow speed settings and shallow angles of impact (60 degrees or lower) removed a lot of the dud torpedo problems. Still had a few deep runners passing under targets.

I'm going to try that. I didn't even know that the "crushed firing pin" was modeled.

Thanks for the tip

Early 1945, off the coast of the Chiba Peninsula.
Driving the USS Crevalle (SS-291)

Caught a small TF leaving Tokyo Bay.
Got a couple of hits, created a bit of havoc.
Dove and eluded the Escort-Swarm, then doubled back and hit 'em again.
Observe the effects of the last hit on the Big Y.

What mod are you using to for the flag and 'sunk ship' on the conning tower?

Mandrisk · 12-26-20, 06:06 PM

Awesome. What mod do you use that puts those flags on the sub? And the emblem? It looks great!
