ShipHunt Hints

"This is the Admiral at Headquarters... You are embarking on a search and destroy mission. I expect 110% from each and every one of you."

"Captain, take care of your crew, and your Submarine! Here are a few pointers from the days when I was a commander:"

DON'T:

• Don't run out of Oxygen!
• Don't go too deep!
• Don't waste torpedoes, you have a limited number!
• Don't let the batteries go dead or you won't be able to move (or run the compressor)!
• Don't run out of compressed air (you need it to blow the ballast tanks to surface, watch the PSI (pounds per square inch) dial just below the PSI button).

DO:

• Do sink the enemy before they sink you (line em' up, fire torpedoes by tapping tube buttons)!
• Do assess the enemy (tap on the ship), larger ships require more hits.
• Do aim carefully, consider the enemies speed and heading!
• Do follow torpedoes as they are tracked on the maps.
• Do realize that torpedoes don't reload instantly.
• Do run away from depth charges (tap the map twice for top down depth charge view). Listen for depth charge explosions.
• Do think about diesel and compressor usage... they both use oxygen!
• Do realize that some repairs can only be performed on the surface.
• Do pay attention to warning buzzers.

And Captain...

• Periscope depth is indicated by the 'P' on the depth meter.
• Bottom center dial indicates current heading (it is not a compass).
• Intelligence gathered by headquarters indicates that enemy ships don't typically track submarines forever. Listen for enemy sonar.

ShipHunt Combat

Captain:
Requests for additional fuel or torpedoes from Fleet Operations will be denied. The Admiral maintains that there is enough fuel and weaponry to regain possession of the quadrant. Maintain stealth... this is crucial to a successful campaign. Realize; Submarine warfare is more strategy and brain than it is trigger.

Be advised:
Commanders at sea are reporting great success from the newly installed 'apparatus'. Submarines can replenish oxygen stores without compromising their position! Captain, you must figure out how to do this!

Good Luck Sir!
