Stealth Land?

Yeah it's probably stealth land. That saddle is about a mile wide on the map, and the bottom is probably shallower than it appears on the map.

Next time you come in, enable your external camera, and look at the bottom as you come in, see just how deep it actually is. I don't know if there is a field there at all, but you might have also hit a mine.

Post a few screenies if you get a view of something good.

It was definitely not a mine, at least the first time. I was on the nav map at about 64x time compression when I heard this horrible noise. The game dropped into the control room view for maybe a second where things were going haywire, lights flashing and people falling with water everywhere, then it cut to an external view showing my boat nose down in the water with the back end hanging out of the water. I only got that for a couple of seconds before it cut to a medal screen giving me the posthumous awards for the patrol, so I missed a screenshot on it.

You'll have to recon it then. Go in from about where you started on the screen you posted, on 1X time compression with the External Camera on, and just see what is to be seen.

Did that. The "Shallow water" is probably shallow enough to wade in. Not surprising I ran aground in this.

However, the other section isn't that shallow. It took me a bit to figure out what it was.

Why oh why doesn't our chart show where our own minefields and anti-sub nets are?

Midway and Majuro as Home Ports? I have never seen them as anything but refits. Is this a 1.5 or Mod thing? I get Pearl, Brisbane or Asiatic only as home ports.

Thanks,

It's a part of the RSRD campaign mod.

They are not sub nets, but sub nets filling in for a critical, show stopping feature missing from SH4...

REEFS.
