. Happy hunting!

Enjoy does not begin to describe it.

I have discovered a Task Force in the Celebs Sea that is laying to to ride out a storm. I radioed in the contact report and got a reply that this Task Force has a Troop Transport in it that is carrying re-enforcements for the Japanese Landings in the Philipines. I have been instructed to sink the transport at all costs. Right now I am resting the crew, charging the batteries and getting the torpedos ready. As soon as night falls I will be moving back in, on the surface, to collect the transport.

It doesn't get much better than this.

That is sweet !
From now on I radio in - I stopped long ago because it meant nothing...

Definitely radio in on convoys. This is where the patrol takes a side track and blossums. I find certain triggers expand your patrol and mission you are sent on. Find a convoy, radio in and all of a sudden that photo shoot in some harbor takes back seat

. Also, it you radio in on a convoy and are out of torps they will say great job and come on home when you ready. If you are loaded with fish like John stated, they will tell you to sink the vessels! Just remember, I believe 3 ships need to be spotted and the crew says 'ship spotted', then phone home

Comms interaction was certainly my favorite addition in SHIV. Now that's immersion.

What have I learnt by reading this post?

Normally I check out this forum to learn tips and tricks to enhance my Sipper abilities. If you look hard enough there are good posts out there to find. A lot of you guys have taught me some very handy skills to maximise the experience I get from this game.

I was concerned when I read about the low sales of this game and that if it causes to many problems there might not be another. Someone posted that this should not happen and reffered to book shops as an example. Im not sure if this would work the same with games, in that the develpment costs must affect the number of games required to make a profit. 300,000 * $50 = 1.5Mil. Is this enough for Ubi? Im not sure. I hope so or there wont be a fifth.

If there is a fifth then lets hope the dev team can continue to put their all into it as I am sure some of the posts about this game must make them think "&$%£ them". I think the person that posted, "they will be gone from the forum soon" is right. Everyone is entitled to a rant now and then, but some of it seems to be endless.

Anyway im off to search for that big target that is waiting just over the horizon and for the first time I will call it in to HQ. So thanks for that tip too.
