I saw people complaining about not being able to tell what date it was. If you let the mouse hover over the clock, the date will appear as a tool tip.

After that, if you talk to the guy again and select "start patrol", you should have a mission icon on the map.



The icons are not showing up on the map to select.

The icons should show up just off the eastern and south-western coasts of Great Britain.

Try scrolling to the left.
The missions are along the Eastern Coast of Britain, and in the Western approaches.
You won't see 'em from there.

EDIT: Beaten to it!

Sorry reaper7, I didn't realise.
That is odd. I haven't seen that before I'm afraid.
Sorry mate

Default Deck Gun/Flak Question.

Greetings,

I did a search and did not see this posted or responded, etc.

I have been able to send crews to the Deck Guns and Flak, but I can't figure out how to tell the to Fire At Will, or better yet, man the guns myself.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Not sure about ordering 'fire at will' but to man the gun yourself, you need to walk up to the gun and click on it. There are ladders at either side of the conning tower.

Default Fire at will

You can get the deck gun to fire by focusing on the target in the binoculars and pressing the space bar to "lock it" for gunnery action. I don't know how you are supposed to know that :-)

Once the deck gun is manned using your binocs and locking the target (space) should get the crew firing. You'll see a little deck gun icon to the left in your binocs indicating that the target should be fired upon.

That has been the case since SH-II.
I was talking about up to IV, the watch officer could command fire at will or cease fire. I can't find anyway to do that. On another note, I had my guys manned on the first mission, had the ships in range and locked to fire upon...nothing happened, no firing as if they were under the Cease fire command which is the default with the last 3 versions.

I did not try to actually walk to the guns...
There is no quick way to get there, I actually have to walk to them every time I want to man them?
