Also, one request and a question:
The request: Please let me know if you download my mission and enjoy it.
The question: Should I follow-up with more historical war patrol scenarios?

Thanks all

I will definatly give it a try, always been a fan of your DW stuff. However I am working some big shifts this week so it may be a few days before I can.

And historical war patrols sound great.

Is noone else interested in custom missions? If not, I won't bother ...

Well, I can't play at all yet, but if custom missions include full war patrols (as they obviously do) I might end up being interested.

But that's a ways off still.

Mission Briefing:

During five war patrols under the command of Richard H. O'Kane, the Balao class fleet submarine U.S.S. Tang was credited with sinking a total of 31 Japanese ships for a wartime total of 227,800 tons. The victim of a circular running torpedo during her fifth war patrol, only eight members of her crew, including O'Kane, survived to spend the rest of the war in Japanese captivity.

On June 8, 1944, Tang slid away from Pearl Harbor to begin her third war patrol. East China and Yellow Sea areas were her destination. And her patrol was destined to be one of the great convoy-smashers of the war. Officially credited with 10 sinkings for 39,100 tons, O'Kane and her company set a record. No other U.S. submarine sank as many ships during a single war patrol. No other, in one patrol, sank a greater merchant tonnage.

Can you do better?

No! Go for it, mate. It took a little while for custom missions to catch on for Sh3 as well due to the fact everyone plays the campaign for the first couple of months but don't let that stop you. I have plans to make a couple of missions out of Calvert's 'Silent Running' memoirs myself nut I have a couple of fairly big mod commitments just now and don't really have the time.

Playing your latest just now and enjoying it a lot.
