I guess it's 15 maps. This maybe for scenarios only though.

Neal said that the "15 maps stuff" is BS. They modeled the whole Pacific and you can chose were to go (NO patrol grids) but you may get orders to go to certain place to help fight a battle (Battle of Midway e.g.).

I'm sure you'll get orders from the outset too, right?

That 15 map thing shocked me when I read it a few weeks ago... I'm glad that was a mistake, would have been a huuuuge leap backwards for the series.

I'm not sure where I've read it but the devs have said that you could go where you want to. Strange, huh?

Yeah, it was a mistake made in some preview somewhere. It's now been confirmed it's just like in SH3.

So we're being assigned to a certain location prior to leaving port?

Not sure, but we'll have the whole ocean to patrol like in SH3. And it would seem a little strange to just head out with no orders... surely you get a region assigned or something, or a mission right from the outset.

Sure, we have the whole Pacific to patrol but the devs made it sound that you are not assigned any patrol grid. That would change of course if you're ordered to drop of commandos or if you get additional orders.

We'll find out soon enough

I'm a very,very, very impatient person and I have to wait a full month to get that game. Drives me nuts.:p Did I say that I was impatient?:rotfl:
