Polish Task force(Where??)

02-21-17, 07:25 PM

Hi All,

I am getting back in to SH again. I am playing with Wolves of Steel (Amazing mod! thank you!). I tried to find the polish task force for the last 5 hours, nothing!

Every time as soon as i reach the area, mission status gets selected as "Finished" without me having to report the task force.

I want to see this damn task force!

Thank you in advance!

Perhaps watch Empty Cup #2 video to find the answer. There is another
Kriegsmarine surface unit in that area, which promptly sends polish task force to the bottom if you do not hurry.

Thank you for great SH5 video series to Empty Cup

Thanks for the comments guys!

I spent another 5 hours trying to find this stupid convoy/task force. Nothing!

I watched the tea cup's videos but that doesn't really explain where to find the convoy. I am not sure how this is spawned in the game. Maybe it's my skills. They are more rusty than Mr. Tea Cup's submarine!

Anyways, I gave up on the task force. But I am getting really frustrated with this game and beginning to remember why I stopped playing this several times. I keep getting caught by these two destroyers who chases me for hours!

I get no F'n air support like tea cup. Crew on my ship says "Captain, task force spotted" I am like where???. But I say, whatever.... who cares let me continue on. The crew is like, should we report it capitan? I and I say yes! let's send a report. So I tell me radio guy and he tells me there's nothing to report. In fact watch officer tells me several times to report contacts, but the radio guy says nothing to report. Maybe he is in another dimension.

What am I doing wrong?

Take a course out of Memel harbor entrance of 243 degrees at Flank speed should get you to a point where your watch crew will inform you of the Polish task force.

The 2 ships patrol in a diagonal line in front of the X mark and my course line.
When war breaks out they can be bombed and then are may also be fired on from the German task force so you need to be in the area to be able to have a chance at attacking them.

Thank you so much! I will try this out tonight.

Hi I'm new to SH5 too and tried to catch the polish Taskforce yesterday.
well.. it's 2 destroyers so no easy task.. luckily they go slow when patrolling.

too bad the Luftwaffe attacks them permanently and killed one of them which means they go full speed... full speed away from my boat.
I managed to get into torpedo range once(long range shot about 5km).. but torpedo was spotted and evaded.
destroyer doesn't even bother to try to find me.. it's running away and I'll guess I have to spend some hours again to get into firing range.
report contact does not work either.
last time I tried this campaign (but missions did not show up on briefing screen so started over) the mission was successful after a German dd from the close by German Taskforce rushed in and killed em both.

Hi THEBERBSTER.
I'm not really new to subsume, just new to SH5.
played SH3 GWX and the u-47 warship mod before.. it's just not running anymore on Win 10

the screenshot thread and the low price for sh5 got me buy sh5

yesterday I attempted the mission again. Taskforce shows up where they should - around the marked area.
I got into a perfect position to lurk.. well again the Luftwaffe ruined my day by driving them away and sinking one of them.
after an hour of chasing the remaining dd I got his attention and he tried to chase me - my trap snapped.. at least I thought so.
first torpedo(electric) set to 1m depth went right under the target. would have been a perfect bullseye under the funnel.. after another 5 torpedo wasted - 3 evaded, 2 same as the first one - I set my last electric torpedo to 2m depth and magnetic fuse and that ripped the dd apart

anyways that was good for learning - mission not complete though. I think I need to kill the 2nd v&w class destroyer too. that means I need to start the whole patrol all over again

THEBERBSTER · 03-08-17, 11:46 AM

Hi lB
Any 2 enemy ships will complete the mission.
