Surviving the war?

Wargamer · 12-11-24, 02:39 PM

Has anyone actually survived the entire war in one campaign? I've played SH1 for nearly twenty years and the most I've managed is 11 patrols. I'd put about 80% of my deaths down to these terrible American torpedoes. Considering the attrition rate of the pacific submarine fleet I can see why they only served four patrols. Any tips on survival? Any major don'ts I need to think about?

Just out of curiosity, did the submariners know how bad their torpedos were? I know the submarine service had balls of brass anyway, but if they knew their primary weapon was massively unreliable as well one cannot help but admire their courage.
