Sneaking into Manila port

Sailor Steve · 04-18-07, 04:25 PM

In SH1 you had photo missions as well. Though the water wasn't transparent to the gamer as with SH4, the planes could see you in shallow water. Sometimes trying to sneak in at night helped. I would then wait for sunup, stick up the periscope, take pictures and then hide under a parked merchant all day, then try to sneak back out that night.

Of course fog helps, but it also makes it a little hard to take pictures. On the other hand, SH1 didn't give you any punishment for not completing a special mission.

You get damaged but there are no ships around? That could mean you've either run aground or your sub has hit a sub net. I had a similar objective some time ago and I found out that the carriers in Manila were protected by sub nets. Do I have to mention that I got myself killed during that mission?

Interesting, I have a bunch of sonar contacts, but all long range, should I try heading in surfaced?
