First off I'd like to say I've been lurking the forums for a bit and just like most other sim crowds out there you guys seem mature and helpful.

So my expertise has been in Flight Sims like IL2:1946 and WWIIOL but I'm a sucker for anything sim so I thought I'd give it a try. I did all the tutorials and some reading and just did my first mission in the 1939 campaign. Get to the grid location, drop my speed for fuel concerns, finally spot a lone C2 and get to periscope depth.

I lined up his course with the ruler, put another ruler line about 1km 90 degrees off his course and parked my butt right there. I gave him some time to make his way to me before raising the periscope and when I did he was 012 in the gyro in front of me heading portside (lingo?) and 900m. Perfect! Launch all 3 tubes at him and wait... BOOM!, BOOM!, BOOM! That limey ripped in half!

I go to take a screenshot and guess what? The game crashes

. Figures right when my adrenaline was pumpin after my first campaign kill ever. No saves or nothin. Oh well I just won't take anymore screenshots I guess haha. I got the bug though so I'm comin back for more. I want to eventually learn to target manually, and use the map without any assists. I'm at 65% difficulty right now so I figure I'll do a couple campaigns like that to learn the ropes more. And ID ships quicker. Ya guys got any advice and maybe critique the mission I ran?
