Or just press Z.

There's a handy little keyboard layout with the manual, has all the keys you need! :)

me and a mate are heading out to get this tomorrow, none in my home town so we've gotta head out 20miles to get it. hope they have it :)

Yup keyboard layout very handy. Also on silent runing you cant repair/run pumps so if you got flooding take silent runnig off.

Yeah I just forget and leave it on sometimes, 2 hours later I'm wondering why they haven't reloaded the damn torps yet...

Had a play with this last night and it aint bad. Took a while to work out what does what but I've got the hang of it now.

Can't say I'm that impressed with the graphics , at 1024x768 it looks damn silly on my 20in monitor why can't they make it work with different resolutions :(

Just played single mission Bismark :P

took out a Nelson class battleship then a King George V class with 4 torps
36k Tonnes betwen them
the bismark took out the destroyers. so while I reloaded I followed the bismark and defected to the allies and sank her. 42k Tonnes. That was some size of ship as it was more than the 2 british ships together :o

are you sure the two British battleships werent 36K each? (as that iswhat they weighed?)

Sounds like fun, haven't yet dared to try a single mission yet! There's still a LOT to learn!

They are good I did scarpa flow and got 6 sorted destroyers and the 1 battleship

Last night I was in the North Atlantic in my patrol area and detected some ships in the middle of the night, turned out to be a 13 ship convey with 2 armed trawlers and one destoyer. Ive taken out one armed trawler and am closing in on the destroyer. Gonna have fun tonight wandering around with the deck gun :D

I did the Flak training yesterday :D

just done up to the flak training. torps next :s

me and my mate managed to get the last 2 copies in salisbury :D well chuffed
