<HTML>John ...
I have this game and LOVE it to pieces. My first few missions were pretty sad because of my experience. In fact, I think after my first or second torpedoI fired, I was getting depth-charged already.
I've found that you can run on the surface at night and get quite close to the target without much interference. You need to watch your fuel status when you're far away from your return port...I've run out of fuel too...just stranded in the middle of the Atlantic after having done a Drumbeat Operation.
Go under every once in a while to periscope depth even when nothing is going on and take a listen on the headsets to see if you hear anything. After I shoot a torpedo, I generally like to dive...."just in case"...with a hard left rudder and all ahead full basically making almost a U-turn.
Anyway, tell us some of your manuevers!!
