USS Porpoise SS 172 Overdue...

...and presumed lost while on patrol. I was tooling my way down to Tokyo when ComSubPac decided to send me north to do a photorecon of a harbor. I started heading North and had cranked up the time compression to 1024. While I was waiting, a small convoy came into visual range. One of the escorts managed to pop me from long range while I was slowing down the sim. Made a real mess of me and I had to surface due to chlorine gas. Next time I'm in a hurry, I'll realize what 109% realism means!

Lol, that sounds fun.

Interesting to note that historically, Japanese gunners were able, on occasion, able to accomplish feats of extreme long range accuracy!

I wonder if shore batteries would account for the strange booms I heard in SH1 while patrolling around the Japanese Islands? There were never any visual sightings, no contacts on either radar either. I'd be tooling along on the surface and it sounded like a 500 lb bomb was dropped 100 feet from the submarine. Never did any damage to the sub but it sure was interesting to pop my head up over the conning tower and see nothing around!

I erased all my old careers from SH1 and SHCE. I'm going to start new ones in both and compare the results.
