Default Another TM career sadly over

This time my s-boat on her second very successful war patrol fatally crashed into an island on a clear day at 8 knots at 2500TC. It was a sandy beach too.

If the Devs are doing another patch, please, please, include a Land Ahoy response from the watch, and if possible make it not say that when you start the game docked at Pearl.

Thx

Well at least the (surviving) crew got to enjoy a nice, sandy beach!

I think if they incorporated any such fix (high hopes, I know), the lookout SHOULD state that when you start docked at PH...just the other day I ran aground when I was exiting the dock, cause I was watching the wonderful ROW scenery!
I knew there was a reason I always started my patrols outside the harbor :p

I ran aground exploring the Waipahu side of Pearl Habor. It was rather embarrassing.

I was looking for a good shave-ice stand.

Joe,

You can't leave that sub there, you have to pull it off! Gonna ruin a perfectly nice beach with that relic!

What are you doing cruising around at those TC speeds!

Sounds to me like someone needs to learn to be diligent with the magnifying glass chart tool and go over the entire plotted course carefully before they call for warp speed

I did that once. It was real nice to see my watch crew sprawled all over the beach
