Fast Attack was my first subsim, SHII brought me here though

My copy (on a mini-flop IIRC) got tossed with my PCAT long, long ago!

Got another quick question.

I noticed in this thread, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166320, that there is a screenshot listed with torpedo bearing tables.

Can anyone explain how to read these? In the top left corner there is a lb/u symbol. What does this denote?

Thank you in advance!

Haha. I remember Silent Service when I was a kid. Dad worked for IBM, so we were early IBM PC adopters. Everything was light blue and pink, gotta love those CGA colors. But by the time I picked up Silent Service, was already a 'highly experienced' Skipper.

Because it wasn't my first subsim - that would be GATO.
I was in 3rd grade and the Challenger hadn't blown up yet, so that would be around fall 1985. I still have the 5 1/4" floppy in a box somewhere, probably right next to the original King's Quest.

Badass box art too.

Even as an 8 year old, I don't think I ever had to dive - you could just blow everyone away on the surface. Ah yeah, see-through ships on that lovely pink ocean.

Sank every single 'Maru' there was in the database many times over.

To be safe I would install over a clean patched SH3.

If you want you can have 2-3 installs, and use Multi SH3 to have separate saved games for each. I think at one time I had 3-4, and one was a clean install so I could compare modded files.

I understand this cannot be done with Windows 8, perhaps in the future.

No problem

Just an FYI I did NOT make it, simply found it through google searches
