When can we expect submarine aces list

WitP 2, my educated guess is somewhere between version 2.3 and 2.5012beta.
Hope that helps.

Clay Blair, I believe...

i suggest longest live submarines list, rather then aces list[:D]

USS Wahoo is doing a damn good job in my game. [;)]

the wahoo has nothin on wat my boat has done in Silent Hunter 3[:D]

ive sunk 500,000 + tons of allied shipping[:D]

ive even snuk into scapa flow a few times and torpped sum destroyers, biggest targets i could find

but out of curiosity, wat has ur wahoo done?

Sorry Grunty I brought the subject up in UV years? ago.

I've had Wahoo sitting off the Home Islands, just to the west. First war patrol, Wahoo is now out of torpedoes and going home.

All the torpedoes hit, all of them exploded - I remember an AO and one TK were hit by Wahoo, and there was a deck gun engagement with an AK as well, and she tangled with a Jap ASW TF - and sunk a minesweeper.

Probably not as good as the long term scores that my Dutch submarines have racked up (its end of Sep 42, and I've had them welded to the coast off Saigon, they bag a TK every so often as well) but for one war patrol Wahoo has done damn well.

When she gets home a radar is gettig put on as well, so the Japs better fear. [:D]

Sounds a little like the exploits of the real Wahoo in WWII.

indeed

history repeats my friends

Well, RL Wahoo was off Truk I think.

I dont have much luck putting subs around Truk.

Saigon, Java Sea and Home Islands seem to get results.

Recall this photo...one of the most sucessfull Japanese sub attacks were conducted from this torpedo room.

I-26 also sank the Juneau IIRC, with the 4 Sullivan brothers...

~S~

boat that sank the Wasp? I-26 IIRC?

One of, not that particular one though.

I-58?

sank the INdy after she delievered da bomb

yup This was taken as the I-58 was about to be scrapped in '46.

[:D][8D]

oo

any1 ever see the movie called Mission OF The Shark?

its about Indy as she made her run to deliver the bomb

Hum,

I have a book containing this picture that says it is of I58 , which sank the Indianapolis ( july '45 )

of course pictures never lie - only captions do ...

But I'd be curious to resolve which is correct.

My book in question is

Padfield, Peter, War Beneath the Sea, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., NYC, 1998
