Which sub will you be most interested in? - Page 2

Iron Budokan · 03-17-07, 09:48 AM

Well, to be honest I don't know enough about any of them to make an intelligent choice. I've heard of Gatos most often, though, so I voted for them. (I also played that platform on the old Silent Service II.)

The Balao

FooFighters · 11-06-07, 01:22 PM

When I started with SH4 Balao was my first chooise..

Along the way I fell in love with that crazy looking Sargo..
Those strange bulbs on the back, beautiful tower..

My command for 19 patrols, USS Spearfish

MorganThePirate · 11-06-07, 02:28 PM

I preferred the Gato Class. I created a new skin under the name of USS Rasher (SS-269). The Rasher was one of the best USS subs during the WWII in the pacific

. You can find information at http://www.ibiblio.net/hyperwar/USN/ships/SS/SS-269_Rasher.html :hmm:
Also there is good book by Peter T Sasgen “Red Scorpion: The war Patrols of the USS Rasher”.

I hate to do this but I can't resist commenting that the Redfin (pictured above) was a Gato class

.

My favorite? Start the war in an S or a Porpoise in Pearl and look forward to upgrading as I can. I kind of prefer the Gato though. It's test depth of 300 feet means I'll take it to 400 in a pinch and the escorts can still give a little trouble there. At 500 feet in a Balao though, it's too easy to get away to be challenging.

Cheers!

Balao for me as well

Although I enjoy playing them all

Balao for me. Hey Rockin Robbins, how do you customize your sub like that? I want to add the battle flag for my USS Balao (and update it for my kills) and also do a similar design as you have for the bow.

Caseck · 11-07-07, 07:35 PM

SARGO because my first patrol on a HARD campaign, I torpedoed the Kongo with her!

4 tubes fore and 4 tubes aft combo I like. Makes for a nice broadside fan...

Reaves · 11-07-07, 07:43 PM

S class all the way.

It's odd, with the U-boats I loved the IX but for some reason when it comes to fleet boats I just can't turn down an old rust bucket like the S-42.
