S-Class

Yep, the Sugar Boats are a lot of fun. Until I get proficient with them I won't be starting a career in one of it's bigger brothers.

I was thinking about changing my S-boat into a U-boat so I could fool the
U-571 into thinking I was German. Anyone know if that will work?

S-35. First patrol began on Jan. 4, 1942 to the Luzon Straight from Brisbane. Green crew. Returned to port on April 14, 1942 with fuel critically low and seven victories totaling 35,000+ tons. Awarded the Silver Star.

Next patrol after a fast refit starts April 17, 1942. Coral Sea area, hunting flat-tops.

S-Class. She may not dive deep, but she will dive fast.

Lovin' the S-class as it's a great way to learn and sharpen my manual plotting and targeting. don1reed gives some insight on what it was like without a TDC here

I just started a new career last night with an S-boat and completed two patrols. It is a lot of fun, though it's was hard to get used to how slow they are... end arounds are much more time consuming. I would be a real challenge to intercept a zigzagging convoy moving at anything faster than slow speed.

I like that they dive ridiculously fast though... pretty important if you don't have any AA capabilities. They also move more quickly submerged than I would have expected, which is nice. Also I love the Mark 10! All my hits do damage, small as that may be. Only 4 tubes of tiny torpedoes is pretty rough, but that makes it more exciting/tense as you set up your shot.

Anyway... yeah I dig the S-boat.
