SH 4 Add-0n's missing info in the manual?!

[hellas1]

Hello all,

It is I, once again. E-mailing you from Bali.

I have picked up the SH4 u-boat add-on.
However, I simply am not able to find any information in the manual
regarding the u-boat types, "hero's" & their "heroic" abilities, nor the starting bases for the u-boat missions/campaigns (whichever they are).

Does anyone have any information regarding the above issues on the SH4 add-on?

Thanks much,
hellas1

Oh, by the way, I love the SH4 add-on.

Hi hellas1

Just bought it on ebay 45mins ago so I'm sorry I can't help.

Got it for $9.00+$3.00 shipping. Will start ups tracking tommorrow.:p

I wonder if Ubi will do future Addons for SH4 ?

Hey thats an idea for a SH4 thread.

The starting ports are Penang (Malaya), Singapore (You know where that is), Batavia (Java), Surabaya (Ditto)

The Strategic Command options are given you when you rank up in the U-Boat campaign, They include Scouts (Intially from Land-Bases and later from Carriers) and Surface Ship Support

The "Heroic" Abilities are special crewmen that have limited time active or passive abilities that increase certain things in the sub (For example there's one that increases Torpedo Speed and Reloading Time for (I think) 10 minutes)

I have foll. on my u-boot :
- PROPULSION SPECIALIST (passive) - increase surface and under water range
- STALKER - faster u-boot on surface + more info of enemy
- QUICK ESCAPE - shorter dive time
- OVERCHARGE - - completely reduce dude chance

Do you have any other ? What is their special ability ?
