I'm sure the Dev Team is referring to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

I'm sure that's what they are referring to as well.

But they also mention they haven't sorted out what the full list of starting point bases are which implies that there will be others.

People should actually READ the interview material....it's hard enough for developers when people don't like what they've actually said without having people inventing stuff!

It says the WAR starts in Pearl Harbour (not exactly a big surprise) and that they are yet to decide the bases available from which to conduct operations. So I don't know why people think they have to start in Pearl and that the other bases won't be included.....:hmm:

At a guess, you'd think Pearl, Midway and Brisbane will be in at least (Wahoo did a patrol from Pearl to Brisbane then another from Brisbane to Midway in '42, for example). I suppose Manilla should really be there, but then it wasn't available for all that long....

Remember the first sub lost was the Sealion, just hours after Peal Harbour. She was based at Suvla bay I think.

It would be a shame not to have these bases included, as well as forward operating bases that came into effect in late 1944-1945, these reduced traveling time and increased on patrol time for each boat.

Suvla Bay, isn't that in Gallipoli?

I think maybe you mean Subic Bay, but Sealion was destroyed at Cavite, which is in Manilla Bay.

It's rather amazing how many conclusions can be drawn from so little information. It's nice to see some here aren't jumping off the deep end.

I'd say it's highly likely we'll also have Brisbane and/or Fremantle. Somewhere in that piece they talked about subsowespac. I think Midway is highly likely as well.

Others, like Saipan and Guam maybe less so, but I'd bet my favorite hat that there are more bases in the sim than Pearl.

Make it like the Med. in SHIII :hmm:

I hope they include Tjilatjap (Indian Ocean) as sub base. It was included in Silent Service 2.
