And I just traded in my S-Class for a Salmon after 6 successful patrols and about 100.000 tons of japanese steel scrathec into my conn tower.

Thanks for the answers guys, I might just put this career on hold and start a new one. I had loads of fun with the type II in SHIII so maybe this is something for me too.

I bet you'll fall in love with this little boat.
Don't know what it is, she's my favorite, has been and will remain.

Jmack · 07-19-07, 06:21 PM

it looks great ... congrats

Starting a new career and starting with the "earliest" historical sub design that's available in the game, and gradually stepping up to each next more advanced sub design, is well worth considering. The new S-boat skin looks beautiful.

I hope the plan is to reskin them all.

What would be the exact list of all the available subs to operate in the game, in their order of advancing technology?

Baleo
Gato
?
?
? ... (etc)
S-Boat

Starting out as a green captain in command of the humblest sub has a lot of role playing flavour to it.

okay you guys got me

i had an issue with a saved game crashing, 9th career 9th patrol, baleo sub, i said the heck with it, im getting so excited with this S boat talk i started a new career with the S-34, this thing is sweet! 12 knots to the pins, the interior is so cozy, i love the pause when they change over from diesel to electric! out on my first patrol with it now! a lot of fun!

It's such an ugly, beautiful sub. Takes skill to suceed in it, especially with the newer AI upgrades.

Jmack · 07-19-07, 11:07 PM

everyone know's why they love this boat
it reminds them of something else ...

Try 1918.

Well , tonight was a long night again. I (nearly) finished both grey and black version. Grey version still has a conning tower color problem. The lighting / shadows of this tower is different from the subs skin. I cannot get both tower and skin the same color when the sun is shining on it.

Here some shots of my progress..

Release will be (hopefully) sunday.

Hope you guys like the pictures

Jmack · 07-20-07, 06:47 PM
