Was I wrong

You might have gotten more exact orders in real life, but just like in real life: if you succeed you get a commendation if you fubar it then its your head.

So, since you pulled it off. Good thinking! No you wern't wrong.

Also, I have just been listening to old radio broadcasts of the Pearl Harbor attack. So I say have at 'em!

[Kaleun]

hi,

In real-life in ww2 - a lot of skippers were pulled from their boats for "not conducting an agressive enough patrol" - nobody could argue that about your actions!!! so i think you saved yourself a boot up the jacksy from the brass!!

I think that it will be wonderful to have concrete orders: For example, go to patrol station, stay within 100 nm, attack enemy merchant ships and be in contact every day at 100; or top secret drop rangers team, maintain radio silence, avoid enemy contact and report when mission is accomplished.

Nope, tonnage = win.

I totally agree! mission doesn't provide tonnage and eats out valuable diesel , diesel you could use to chase those japanese eheh

I think what alot of folks overlook is the oppertunity to 'role play' in this game.

If you "believe" its a super secret mission of utmost importance well play it that way.

If not... shoot first ask questions later.

If I get into the same situation I might try to call in a sighting report and see what Comsubpac says. That should give me a better feel for the priority of my mission....As it was when I got home there were shiny new medals for me and the crew

[Deerdiver]

Mission priority is to drop off the contact. Then once dropped, and at a safe distance so as to not compromise their mission, sink away to your hearts content!

A real life mission might result in you being carpeted by Top Brass if your activities resulted in the first mission being compromised. No matter how many ships you sank, they would still only be a small overall contribution compared to what may have been achieved had the secret mission been a success.

[sparkomatic]

personally I would not have attacked...of course I would have marked the charts and dreamt about trying to return, but the mission dictated otherwise

You will not be chosen for any more missions involving war critical intelligence. You exhibited your total and complete lack of discipline by needlessly exposing your vessel and crew to te enemy prior to the completion of your mission objective. Your total disregard for the training and import of the agents entrusted to your care, their war vital mission, has jeopardized nearly a year of planning and effort. As a direct result of your attack Japanese Intelligence doubled it's efforts in the coastal zone of your agents landing and one agent was captured. He was however able to swallow his purple pill priot to any serious interrogation and the mission objectives remained secure.

Yes the agents were able to set up their networks and we now have clear intelligence that the German U-Boats vital cargo's only partially reached Japanese hands in Shanghai and that the carrying vessel was sunk enroute. The primary (to be known as the Manhattan project) remains secure and clearly in the lead.

Your vessel will be reassignd to a new skipper. Your cew has already been dispersed into the fleet. You've been assigned to Shemya as a Naval liason to the Army's weather station there. We anticipate your assignment to last a minimum of 18 months.

We've arranged your passage on a small crab vessel that has been serving just south of the Bearing Sea as a radio intercept vessel...

Enjoy the exile...

Do I have time to pack my warm socks?

[Sailor Steve]

You don't even have time to ask that impertinent question! What's wrong with you? No, don't answer that one either! Just get going!

[edjcox]

Appreciate your words Chief...

March him down to the docks and tell the Crab Boat Captian that he can work him as hard as he likes till they make port at Shemeya, Alaska.


Impertinence indeed.




By the way I understand that the Lightenings intercept of Yamamota aircraft was a total sucess, confirmed kill, although we lost some ships due to lack of fuel on the return flight. Our Subs were on station and picked up the ditiching crews. The idea of the navigation beacons on the subs was a good one and definitely made the attack vectoring and the return flight easier on everyone. Another good idea Chief, your recommended Captains list served again. Keep em coming and this war will soon be over...




He Heh!

[pugwash1]

You are only wrong if it goes bad, otherwise you are a hero, that is why the captain is king. Hopefuly in real life if the objective is of major importance then it would have been made quite clear that NOTHING should be allowed to compromise your mission. A lot of lads have killed of a bunch of there pals becouse they thought they new best, can't condem them just have to feel sorry. on the other end a few have died for no reason following dumb ass orders! In the game if a juicy tanker came by and I had a clear shot with no one else around she would be smoke.

"Conduct unrestricted air and submarine warfare against Japan" says it all....
