Default The importance of trim dives and sound sweeps in the TMO Update

After six patrols, a transfer to Pearl Harbor in December 1942 and having to edit files to manually refit the USS Seal SS-183 (Salmon class), I needed a break, so decided would come back to this career and try to make it from start of war to end in Salmon. Plus, wanted to test out some things for the forthcoming patch in the campaign and Seal was several patrols away from Fall 1943.

I started a career with a Balao USS Skate SS-305 out of Pearl Harbor and advanced start date until 26 September, so could proceed to Wake Island for first ever official lifeguard mission by US submarines (as Skate actually did ) on 5/6 October 1943. For the patch, I added the US TF, departs PH at historical date and time , quite the sight.


Anyways, while en route , had an incident that shows why in the updated TMO, trim dives and sound sweeps are important. I came close and would have been upset losing this boat as I spent a lot of time editing the crew etc. Link below for full story.
