Default TWOS: Question about campaign convoys

Hi guys.

I bought SH5 and went straight to the real deal with TWOS and other realism-boosting mods.

However, I have one question in particular about the campaigns.

As we progress with TWOS campaigns,
are these campaigns like SH2 where you are given a task and all the objectives are "over there at that circled region", or is it more like SH1, where you patrol and eventually you'll get intel on convoy movements?


I am asking because I just did the first mission, but it seems more or less scripted to SH2 sort of "historical confrontations", I suppose.

I kinda love and miss that randomness of SH1, but maybe I'm jumping the gun too early. I am not able to play much or at all, at the moment, hence my question to you.

So far I died to a costal defense battery while I was submerged. Didn't know that block on that penninsula meant death, lol.
And I sank one Polish warship.
For now, I am in the process of learning "how to enigma" .

Hi Spraki, the first patrol in OHII campaign is scripted to give everyone a cinematic opening experience. Everything after that is completely random. You will be given patrol areas as objectives and have to patrol within a certain radius for a given number of hours, however you are not tied to those and are free to roam the seas as you wish. You will get renown and promo points for completing assigned patrols though, so it is worth doing them as well.

Yes, to resume, you can find boats everywhere, not only in the mission area !

As i do sometime, you can try to figure out the merchants line path from certain harbours on map, and wait for them to come … there are some hot spots not too large to watch out.
