I've just put the final touches on a fairly comprehensive manual for this wonderful sim. While I don't think I added anything particularly new when it comes to game play, the guide does have a few features that some people might be interested in.
This includes:
— A thorough review of the 'Replay' feature
— Tips and tests if the game plays sluggishly
— How to get a full batch of torpedoes when doing a 'Refit'
— The 'trick' to bringing down troop carriers and destroyers
— The revelation of what I call 'Liner Lane', a hot spot for troop carriers
— Six saved scenarios for your steel carnage enjoyment. Three involve troop carriers, three involve warships. One of them features a Jap harbor with two heavy cruisers, two battleships and two aircraft carriers. Fun for the whole family!
— How to change single voice files, plus a download that changes every voice to the 'whispered' Silent Running voices. It also lowers the volume of some of the sound effects, like that loud obnoxious klaxon horn when it dives or surfaces.
— How to automatically store your saved games on a different partition in case your system melts down.
