S-39 AAR
[The following is a patrol summary (edited to be brief) of S-39 (SS-144) on it's 2nd war patrol. I had originally intended to post the 1st war patrol report, but in fact, there were no contacts made, so it would make for very dry reading.] S-39 (SS-144) 0627 exit harbor. XO plots course to our objective: 1,450 nm. We discuss the fuel situation in light of our orders. Unspoken, but not forgotten, is our lack of any contacts on the first patrol. Note that I do make some minor deviations from a direct route, in the hopes of finding some enemy ships on the way. Given that IJN is advancing everywhere, there is no telling where they might be found. |

[I, perhaps, should have mentioned beforehand that this patrol is in a high-realism career, the only option I allow myself is the external view, and I am careful not to use it to gain an advantage. Mar. 20_________W6+, 11+, 4+__________59 mi., fuel 57%[If you can barely see anything, that's what it looked like for us.]We periodically see fires on the target, but these go out after a while. We are in danger of losing sight of them. We seem to be gaining a bit, but dare not get close, as they are likely to be armed. After a while we are down to 50 shells, then 25. I had hoped to retain 25 or 30 for a reserve, but what can one do with only 25 shells, anyway? We've put in too much effort to stop now. I give the order to keep firing... 1036 secure from GQ. Resume course 091T, at 3½ kn. I estimate we travelled about 16 mi. off course.Mar. 23________W3+, 1+, 15 _________ 62 mi. [The zones marked in pink were patrolled extensively. The route marked is only approximate.] Our score: We thought we would be warmly welcomed, but perhaps the higher-ups are miffed about our first patrol. |

And, how are you setting the torpedo GA overriding the TDC? Maybe setting speed to zero in the TDC and aiming with the periscope? Must be a hell more complicated than in real life was
