What will be your first command? - Page 2

S-class as it's the nearest thing we get to a Royal Navy Sub - as a few s-class were loaned to the Royal Navy

I'll be in the port tavern waiting for the last sub available

Morts · 02-28-07, 08:30 AM

I will take the best sub class available in December 1941 that sails out of Pearl Harbor. I want to eventually work my way up to command a Balao class submarine. I will also make sure 'realistic torpedoes' is enabled and then experience the frustration over the torpedo problems (running too deep, defective magnetic & contact exploders) that the original US submarine skippers encountered for the first 18 months of the war. That humble and frustating time will make me appreciate the later parts of the campaign (late 1943 to end of war) when the torpedo problems were fixed!

Not a good idea. The S-boats had a fairly short range. If you're operating out of Cavite you'll likely have a 'Sugar boat', but out of Pearl you'll probably start with a Perch or Tambor. Or maybe even a Gato if your lucky.

I'm sure they'll do the same for SH4 as they did for SH3, and you'll get to choose which subron you're with, and get the boat that way.

Hey Steve, I didn't mean to start from Pearl Harbor I just wanted to say that I'll start right after the attack of Pearl Harbor. But you're right: To get a S-class I would have to start from Cavite.

First of all I'm gonna open a beer and smoke. Then... the Night is mine! Only me and SH4...

Sulikate · 02-28-07, 02:12 PM

I'd like to get an S-Class first

Tigrone · 02-28-07, 02:22 PM

I'm a bit of an old timer myself.

nattydread · 02-28-07, 07:31 PM

Reverse 1/3 on two engines...Im hoping to be backing out of a sub dock on the east coast or Mare Island.

Sockeye · 02-28-07, 09:48 PM

I'll probably try a Sugar Boat out of the PI to start off with. It just seems to bring back original SH memories to me, and besides, I always enjoyed the "They Were Expendable" movie with John Wayne.

Will be interesting to see if the battles on Bataan, Corregidor, etc, are in-game. I hope so since the story of Bataan's Battling Bastards is quite the story, and like so many other events, seems to be forgotten or unknown by many.

I, for one, am hoping to disrupt a Japanese landing force or two

I want a Pig Boat to start, kinda like old skool and having to work your way up the chain of command :-)

Buggins · 03-01-07, 07:12 AM

I'll probably start with the first sub I see on career mode, I'm not really well informed on the pacific submarine war so I'll have a lot of fun just finding out how things work down there.

I'm really excited about these new types of mision and more active campaign rather than simply patrolling particular squares and hoping a convoy pops up in strike range.

kiwi_2005 · 03-01-07, 07:23 AM

I will start from the default too. Like in SH3 u get the IIA or IID dug out canoes. With SHIV no doubt if you start from the begining when US went to war your get the dug out canoe - american version. S-Class.

But i will be overjoyed when i finally get my hands on a Gato.
