And watch out for the mines and sub nets in your own ports! I like the "start at sea" option in SH3 Commander; it avoids having to waste time leaving your berth and hearing the 1,001 "ship sighted!" messages, unless of course you install the "no ship sighted" mod.

I can relate to your predicament my friend. I am new to SH3 myself, and it took me quite a while to get a handle on the manual TDC thingydoodadwhatsitcalled. Don't worry about that for now. Take it nice and slow, thats what I did, and in no time you will be sinking ships left and right.

As for pulling out of port, all of the above posts took care of that. If you don't mind taking the time to manually steer your boat out of port, it can be a very fun experience with a ton of cool crap to look at.

Wait until the RAF attacks your port while you are sailing out to sea. Things'll get really interesting, really fast.
