Which one is accurate?

That's a good question. The Pamapnito's website states that 8 were carried aft and 14 forward.

Not trying to hijack Luke's thread but I found another old subsim game manual that also has an excellent description of submarine tactics, operating characteristics, and "how to" tutorials. From how to maintain a manual plot to calculating the turning radius of a fleet submarine (0.45 degrees per second at full rudder at 4.0 knots) it's all in here. Pages 1-21 are the "game" manual while pages 22-145 are all simulation info. Really good stuff.

Enjoy.

Wow... another excellent find! Thanks virtualpender.

These two manuals (minus the gameplay instructions) should be "required reading" for playing SH4 seriously.

Can we get these two links stickied or added to one of the massive links/tutorials pages?

I second that.

These types of manuals put even the "best" of the SH2-5 manuals to complete shame.
