And whilst it was trained for pre-war, it was found to be too dificult to use in practice. In SH4 though, you have very little of the problems of real problems, as the sound travels instantaneously, so there is no sonar lag. You also only get one ping off a target, so range is easy too.

Welcome to the boat mate

There is a ton of information in this thread.

Some of it won't make much scents till you get some experience but it will come.

I wouldn't worry too much about the fourth training mission, you start out in such a bad position it's all but impossible to complete. It's more a DD evasion mission than a sink ships thing.

Best thing for training is the single war patrols like hellcat, got radar and a better boat. Don't worry about the mission just go to the Luzon Strait, find some targets, save the game as soon as you do and replay it till you get a good handle on how things work.

Got questions? We got answers. Ask away.

Thanks guys. I didn't even mean that I couldn't figure out how to find and target the ships in the periscope. I meant I couldn't figure out how the find the ships period. At the start of the training mission you're supposed to submerge and follow the convoy NE. But by the time I submerge, rig for silent running, and get underway heading NE, the convoy is gone and my sonar can't find them and I can't use radar submerged.

I think I'm just going to skip the last training mission and play some of the solo missions before I get into career mode. Any recommendations of which missions would be good for a new sub skipper?
