I'm back!

Hi all,

I've been playing SH5 for a while, but just installed SH4 again on my new Win 7 machine.

Previously, I have never had any luck with this version, meaning I never sank a single ship. I never found any!! The Pacific is so large, and the Japs didn't sail much in convoy.

I'm trying with RFB this time.

Add RSRD campaing. One little trick, time compression and pop the watch up, when you see a sttuter there is something in range of your sonar, but your men will not detect it, you are your sonarman.

Thanks. I've been a dailly visitor to the Subsim forum for years, just been in the SH5 section for a while.

Interesting point about the stuttering clock, possible contact. I'll have to try that.

+1 on the game stutter indicating a contact. I was unaware of this little tip too, until I watched WinterOwl's excellent LetsPlay of SH4 on YouTube. But it does work. I know its not very realistic, but, hey, its about finding and sinking ships, right? How are you gonna show off all your awesome targeting skills, if there is nothing to target?
