All this talk about PA has got my blood going! I have SH2 but could never get into it, and I always longed for the return to the Pacific. Somehow I missed the release 10 years ago!! But I became a contributing member just so I could download PA and give it a try. Going thru the Uboat training missions now, just to get used to the interface. Look out Pacific theater, Major Johnson is on the way!!

Oh man!! So after some install difficulties I finally start a campaign and I'm assigned to the North Japan waters. On my way there I have a radar contact. It's dark and rainy. I change course towards the contact, and it's a lot closer than I expected, like 2000 meters close. When I get visual contact it's a sub, but I don't know if it's friendly or not, then BAM!!! I start getting hit with shells and the thing sinks me!!! Now I did raise my vulnerability percentage to 100% realism, but man it only took like 4 or 5 hits to sink me!! I'm guessing was a Jap sub!! Not a good way to start my career!!!

Sounds like you have run into the fairly typical problems of being a sub commander

My 2nd try didn't go any better. On route to my patrol zone I come across an unescorted oil tanker. I fire 2 fish at less than 2000 yards, only one hits, the tanker must have seen my scope and comes at me. I lower the scope, and set the depth to 100 ft. The sub didn't dive as fast as I thought and the tanker rams me!! I'm taking on water so I surface figuring the tanker was unarmed and my deck gun could finish it off. I no sooner get the deck gun manned when all of the sudden I'm lit up like it's daylight and the tanker starts shooting at me!!! Needless to say it didn't end well!!

But this is truly what I wanted SH1 to be like. The external view really adds to the immersion!

So commander, you've lost two of our subs

Those upstairs are expecting better things of you on your next patrol.
