I really am starting to hate this boat, lol I need some anti-aircraft guns

Try to take a new boat next offer. I can't recall the date, but eventually you can take one and not get transferred to Pearl. You've missed the main action near Alaska, so that's up to you. You will see some upcoming flash messages about JP's trying to resupply Kiska/Attu, dies out mid 43

Intel shows JP's intend to invade about 110 nms NNW of Lae. TF may contain AuxCru's. We seldom get a chance at these, in fact this may be our only chance...take them out at all cost. If these troops land, Lae will be lost. The only troops on the Island are lead by Sgt. Wernher. He was last seen drunk in an underground cave with a few native girls.

After some good Rest for my men and myself of course, we are sailing to a patrol zone from HQ, little do they know I have some insider information.. Admiral Armistead, I am on my way to location

You dock and you get the offer. Think I mentioned if you take a new boat down south right off you'll get transferred to Pearl. After awhile you can take one without transfer, but we have to win Midway first. I'm stuck in a Salmom myself, so I'll let ya know when I get one, but I'm in Feb on my first patrol...

Well, I just ran into a damn large TF. I sunk two carriers and refitted at Darwin since it was close and went and waited. TF has 4-5 Carriers, 4 CA's, including 2 Mogami's, 2 Kuma's and dang 14 DD's. Just sunk 2 carriers, shot both at same time, one bow, one stern. The torps hit both at same time. All four from each end hit. Had to use one more to sink one of em. So that's 4 carriers this patrol, with a refit...lol, but still will be around a 30 day patrol. Well, the 14 dd's are working me over. Hopefully I can escape and catch up with the other carriers. Be nice to sink 6 in one patrol......but I'm in bad trouble. Probably finish tomorrow.

Well Sir, it seems you got your hands full

As for myself, well I'm in position and its Dec17th, dawn..

A local fisherman was sailing by and Tony (my gunner) almost blew him in half while I let him fire off a few round to get some practice.. I apologized and him and his wife offered us some smokes and fresh bread.. While he was along side of us, I asked him to take a couple pictures.. Right now I am trying to develop them.. BUT I have NO clue where they are?? I looked in the SH4 folder, but is it in some sub folder?

THANKS! And good luck yourself..

Happy to report that after some help from the Pepitone twins (my Mechanics) we were able to develop the film.. Louis and Joey Pepitone say from here on out there shall be plenty of pictures..

Here is the one the couple took of us at dawn, I told them they better leave the area as we are conducting torpedo tests.. I didn't want to tell them the truth as for all I know they could be spies..

fastfed · 10-03-10, 02:03 AM

By the way, can someone tell me what class sub I am using? I am getting confused now..

Another reason for this reply is: What if we had a separate sticky thread that is a "This Day in WWII History: Pacific theater" where the events in the thread correspond to the events, in SH4 (with and w/o mods) that Armistead and others tell us? So when people visit here they can go to the "This Day in WWII History: Pacific theater" to see where they can take their sub for some really good targets.

For example: From another thread I learned about the returning Pearl Harbor group. So at the moment I'm about four days out of Manilla, about December 12, 1941, and I'm now sailing to the Bungo Strait and plan to arrive just before December 20th in order to intercept the JPN.

I think it would be interesting to have an organized SH4 time line thread and would help the immersion of SH4.

I use it all the time as a reference.

I was actually surprised to find the Pearl Harbor group returning. Just stay more to the east side of the Bungo near the entrance.

I will say last night....a long night, was the most fun I've ever had doing a patrol....Had to do three end arounds. I chased the group all the way to Kendara trying to get that last carrier. It's bow was almost under water from three torps. I barly had it in view with the binocs from about 15 nm's when it. vanished....poof...or as the game views it..docked.

Well.. That an ok site.. But it really doesn't help.. You could be just a little bit off and you will not see anything at all..
