Did I miss something at the end of my campaign?

That would be really fun if their was some kind of victory video!

@ Diopos: LMAO, good one!!

It would be a good mod if only to have a splash screen or two pop up (i.e. a victorious sub preparing to dock etc) much like the movies shown during the menus at start up.

From the final patrol log of the Archerfish:
August 15, 1945
0505 Quick dive.
1200 Position.
Lat. 41° 58' N.
Long. 144° 01' E.
1451 Surfaced. Heard over RB0 that President Truman had announced that the Japs surrendered.
1545 Submerged.
2001 Surfaced.
2145 Received ComSubPac serial 32 ordering the end of offensive action.
2300 Received message to go to area 2.

After that they Joined Bennys Peacemakers under the command of R. H. (Ben) Bass that steamed into Tokyo Bay for VJ DAY.

The war ended for most subs with that message, orders to cancel their current mission, and orders for what to do next. The Redfin was ordered to patrol the South China Sea for a while before returning to base. A less than dramatic ending that is mirrored in the game.

Well, maybe I'll send this to UBISoft for use in the upcoming Silent Hunter VI ("Newbs in the Bathtub")

Orders to steam to Tokyo Bay and when you arrive, the US fleet is at anchor, would be a great ending and thinking it could be maniupulated to do so.The modders could tell us .Or if in asiatic station, orders to return to base and game doesnt end until you arrive in port unless youre not back by say 1 September 45.

That was a post I made at Ubiloss.
What a friggin let down the ending was. I mean did anyone care at all that we just fought a war that cost 400,000 American lives?
Of course the Japanese or the Germans didn't care considering the losses they took. But Ubibucks is an American company, or are they?

not in the movie "On the Beach?" / just kidding.

OTOH the way I play this game i'd likely to be taken into the jailhouse by MPs, or shot on site, if I made it back, and that's just one mission

. hehhe (mmm, reminds me of Das Boot, 'tis ending of mine, 'cept the friendly fire bit).
