Weasle, that first shot just strikes me! Fantastic grab

Safe-Keeper · 04-21-07, 06:39 PM

Yeah, that shot with the burning liner is great. Captures the terror they must feel pretty good.

Welp....at least we have this boat.

And it looks like we're not the only one.

I'm not much of a writer or know how to put screenshots in, but I'll just stick with the basics of the patrol:

USS Tuna First Patrol

Departed Pearl Harbor on April 12th, 1942. Mission, insert agent at Qingdao.
Topped off fuel at Midway and proceeded toward objective. Avoided enemy contact as mission was of utmost importance.

Aircraft radar contact twice after passing north of Wake island, dove to avoid detection.
Aircraft radar contact NW of Volocano Islands. Dove to avoid detection. Stayed submerged throughout the day.

Picked up sonar contact to SW. Fast moving merchant. Set up intercept, surfaced flank speed to move into position.
Periscope depth and waited for target to approach. Large ocean liner, dispatched with two torpedoes. Maintained depth and proceeded back on coarse to objective.

Ran on surface at night and submerged during the day, slow speed. Avoided enemy contacts enroute to objective.

Dropped off agent, moved to deeper water and radioed base. New Objective, patrol East China Sea.

Made way to patrol area. Sank single enemy merchant ship enroute.
Made contact with a small convoy in patrol area. Moved into position and sank 4 merchants. Avoided enemy destroyers and exited combat area.

Surfaced at midnight and radioed report. New Objective, Patrol Luzon Strait. Made way to patrol area, intercepted and sank single ocean liner enroute.

Arrived in patrol area, received radio contact of enemy convoy near position. Plotted intercept course and engaged.
Sank 3 merchants, exited combat area to the north and proceeded back to base low on torpedoes(2).

Made contact with single merchant NW of the Marianas. Fired 1 torpedo from stern, stopped enemy dead in the water. Surfaced to finish off target with deck gun.
Proceeded back toward Midway. Made contact with small merchant NE of Marianas at night, engaged and sank target with deck gun.

Received message near Midway of enemy forces approaching the island, made best speed and refitted at Midway June 2, 1942.

Patrolled west of Midway, weather turned bad. Heavy seas and rain, visibility near zero. Made radar contact to the SW of task force moving east fast.
Flank speed to intercept. Made distant torpedo attack by radar contact on last ship in main column, no hits scored. Proceeded to follow task force toward Midway. Contact lost.

Received radio message of major engagment at Midway, proceeded at flank speed through the night. No further contacts made. Weather cleared by mid morning, seas still heavy.

Plotted course back toward Pearl. Made contact with fast moving task force ESE of Midway, plotted intercept course. Spotted US carrier task force heading to Pearl from Midway. Traveled with task force through the day and reduced speed at night.

Made way into Pearl June 14th. Patrol ended.
12 enemy ships for 80,000 tons

I played the career patrol over 4 days. What i found so thrilling was the multiple missions in a single patrol and when getting back toward Midway on that date, I had a shot at a Japanese BB task force. I used the cam to confirm to was a Japanese TF. But in the zero vis weather and myself not knowing first hand how to set up manual TDC solutions, I blew it

The patrol still rocks, great game
