    ABOUT THIS GAME
    Hunt, hide and kill as you take command of U.S. submarines and crews and navigate the treacherous waters of the Pacific during WWII.
    Silent Hunter, the industry-leading naval warfare simulation franchise for over a decade, returns to its roots with next-generation graphical realism, immersive gameplay, innovative crew evolution and more action than ever before.
    Developed by the same Ubisoft team that delivered Silent Hunter 3, the "king of sub games", to worldwide critical acclaim, the 2007 installment offers the most memorable, accessible and empowering submarine simulation experience ever.
    Hollywood Blockbuster experience: Lifelike graphics and spectacular audio/visual effects offer an incredibly immersive gaming experience. Witness the historical accuracy and the amazing attention to detail from the breathtaking Pacific settings to the more than 75 authentic-looking war machines such as the U.S. Gato class submarine, the Japanese battleship Yamato and the H6K flying boat.
    Large Scale Naval Engagements: Epic naval engagements can be witnessed by players either firsthand or via radio messages and orders from high command.
    Innovative crew evolution: Earn upgrades and experience to guide the evolution path of crewmembers, making your men the most effective naval force in the Pacific theater.
    Immersive single player gameplay: Diverse mission objectives and events combined with unique rewards make each campaign a new experience. Commandeer various U.S. submarines and progress your career as a naval officer via improved dynamic campaigns in Career Mode, or dive into 'instant actions' and single patrols for a quick fight.
    Addictive Online New Adversarial Mode: Join forces with up to 8 friends via LAN or 4 via internet in either cooperative or adversarial gameplay modes. Scripted and generated mission types allow for epic online battles and unlimited replayability.
    Scalable learning experience: Selectable difficulty levels allow players to choose how challenging of a simulation to play.
    Easy to control: An upgraded and streamlined interface makes moving around the submarine and controlling it much easier than ever before.

    Off the coast of Borneo, Tawi Tawi was a Fleet Carrier base late in the war, because of its close proximity to Borneos oil fields. Where you was pointing on the convoy map was a oil tanker convoy route.

    Donitz was happy when each U-boat sank 10,000 tons per patrol; so, I'm counting it a win. That Jill crew got lucky with you. Mush Morton would've strafed'em dead.

    That motor torpedo boat at around the 6 minute mark was carrying 5 depth charges before it made its first attack - and still had 5 depth charges after. I think they're either using magic or the cook's bottled farts.

    @snowman17650 3 місяці тому +4

    If I remember correctly. When I played the cd game. The air search radar shuts off when you dive and you have to manually turn it back on. It was a vanilla game issue.

    I think in the real world you'd have been reprimanded if not court martialed for not diving when under air attack and needlessly endangering your sub. The guns were to be a last resort, not the preferred method of air defense. And yes, we know the Navy pronounced it "Buh-lay-oh" but the correct pronounciation is "Buh-low" as in "ow" when you get hurt.

    USS Balao (Bah-lay-oh...your pronunciation is still epic fail-level) is now up to 599,185 tons (counting your previous career that malfunctioned. Nice work! If you want better targets, I'd switch bases. Go back to Pearl Harbor and you'll go right off Japan. Should have plenty of high-value targets then.
