Tigershark

This Missile has an extremely sophisticated Jamming/Lure Generator that analyses the capabilities of missiles tracking the Tigershark and then mimics the thermal, magnetic and radar signature most appealing to the attacking missiles.

An internal laser array fuses a Sphere of copper into a Plasma/fusion state, then pulses in the x-ray spectrum, vaporizing water in the launch path of the plasma round, which then follows the momentary vacuum corridor at a speed in excess of 2000 meters per second. Limited only by the speed of the round before the carrier tube collapses, the PPR-X can burn through a meter of cast armor plate, setting off internal explosions and punching through pressurized hulls with ease.

The U.S. Navy Standard explosive shaped charge torpedo. With a long range and no jammable guidance, these munitions are useful for attacking subsurface installations and Large attack submarines.

This straight running torpedo is similar in usefulness to the MK-60 with the added benefit of much higher warhead yield.

The Standard VLF link Command guided Homing Torpedo for the U.S. Navy, the MK-65 is very fast with a heavy warhead and superb range.

The SWARM (Seeking Warhead ARea Munitions) Torpedo separates after launch into multiple projectiles that begin high speed runs toward their target. Their characteristic "butterfly" homing pattern is optimized to defeat the evasive maneuvers of enemy Subfighters.

This experimental weapon homes on its target and releases an Electromagnetic Pulse into the surrounding water. This has a devastating effect upon unshielded electronics, causing them to burn out, and often detonates volatile internal fuel supplies or ammunition.

This torpedo was originally designed to disable early warning sensors for the Russian navy in order to attack Submarine bases. Once the scale of the Japanese crisis became apparent, they were modified to release an Electromagnetic pulse on contact that would effectively disable the electronic control systems on the Japanese Geothermal Tap.

The Pied Piper ECM Drone uses sophisticated acoustic jammers to confuse and lure enemy torpedoes. Once deployed, the drone spirals away, drawing any seeking weapons in the area along with it.

Proceed to the first waypoint, a submerged Sonar installation, and destroy it with the Phased Plasma Repeater (PPR). Destroy the second objective, a Russian Geothermal Tap, while being wary of a Plasma Turret and an Attack Submarine. Destroy a second Sonar, then use an EMP torpedo to shut down a submerged Japanese Tap. Surface and destroy a Russian Tap on a shallow shelf by first sinking a nearby Cruiser with SR-70 Rockets, then targeting the Tap with SM-25 Missiles. After all Taps are destroyed, follow the Waypoint arrow to the Subcarrier Olympus for extraction.

Yellow dots on your threat display represent Subfighters or Attack Subs.

Gray dots on the surface threat display represent attack boats or cruisers.

Use ECM torpedoes to decoy enemy torpedo fire when attacking large Submarines.

When surfaced, speed is your greatest asset.

Use ECM missiles to decoy enemy missiles.

Use your Homing missiles to destroy enemies at a distance where possible.

Destroy buildings and installations whenever you can, as they may hold ammunition re-supplies or repairs.

Proceed into the Cone of Mount Fuji, using an ECM missile to distract enemy fire. Submerge and attack the Sonar, then destroy Taps and engage enemy subfighters around the lava stream. Destroy a second Sonar at the far end of the lava channel, then destroy a total of four Russian Geothermal taps. Exit the Volcano swiftly before the eruption.

At the successful completion of each mission, you can save your game to a Memory Card in one of eight slots, or receive a five-character password to restore your game at the Restore Game screen. Restoring a game, whether by Memory Card or password, will start you at the next mission following your most recently completed one.

Use ECM missiles to decoy enemy missiles while you engage surface units; it's often a good idea to launch one as soon as you surface.

Do not get too close to enemy ships or they will engage you with Cannon, which can cause serious systems damage.

Finish off damaged enemies, as a crippled enemy can be just as dangerous as an intact one.

Destroy all Sonars and Radars you find, as alert zones are tied to these installations, and knocking them out will make your life easier and longer.

Kill enemy carriers from a distance if you can, to keep their unlaunched fighters off your back.

Watch your threat indicator, as it will save your life.

Do not stop anywhere near an intact weapon emplacement.

Watch which weapon you are firing, as running out of EMP torpedoes can have dire consequences.

If you are having difficulty underwater, move slowly while clearing out specific areas of enemies before proceeding toward your target.
