A New Oldie

HT401 · 02-12-11, 08:40 AM

Greetings from an armchair rather then the Control Room of the SS422 in which my father-in-law served during WWII. As a kicker & which caught my interest in Subs was that he and fellow ship mates took over IJN401 just after the war ended and brought it from Yokosuka to Tokyo Harbor. Its a great tale when all the facts are known but thats for another time.
I was not a submariner but am trying my hand as one in SH4 &5. Needless to say, I should have taken more math in school so I could easily figure out manual attack methods which make the game more realistic. So that's my challange going forward and hopfully this site will help me in this quest.
Once again then greetings from this New Oldie.
