African Bees Nest mission?

Lane · 12-19-05, 11:49 AM

What the heck is going on I start the mission and try to use the APU
set at 180 to try to back out

I all most get clear of dock's and start
to head for open sea and the whole ships blow's up? explosions one after
another

I am running LWAMI ver 3 beta and 1.03 beta patch.
I know I have problems backing out but do not see the FFG making contact with docks?.
So I just ran dirty atoll it works fine

I think the mission goal has
changed much easy now

heading for Tahiti for Liberty

Thank's for any comments good or bad
Regards
Lane

That's a very tight harbor. It can be done, but pulling out is a tricky operation.

Make sure you are aware of the docks to your left and right, front and back. You are more or less completely surrounded by docks. The only way to do this reliably is to use the bridge looks outs as well as the port and starboard lookouts near the .50cals.

Good luck Lane! Steady hand now!

Thank's LF,

I think I need some Tug Boats to help.

That's strange. ? Looking at ship with F5 I swear it look's like I never
touch any dock's when damage explosion's start like I am being hit with
missles? I guess I need to be sure truth is off.

Yes I agree that is a trickie" operation. If I knew more about the mission editor I would move
the FFG out in harbor to start the mission.

That's a good mission to
learn how to use you APU and rudder controls.
Thank's again LF

" I made it "

Manned the port and starbord side were 50cals were
Lower APU's 180 engaged backed ship away from dock set rudder full left and ship backed out in open water

" Boy" was I" luckey."
Flank speed for open sea was rammed by one enemy boat. 6% damage
made it around mines and used my onboard weapons to wipe out enemy
patrol boats made it to open sea 17: 38 PM.
I think I got real luckey backing that FFG out with out hitting any docks
had truth off. and I fired weapons at enemy patrol boats by clicking on them and firing from 2D nav map used missles and 76 mm gun I would like to learn how to use the Gun control panel and weapons control station.
Thank's LF for advice
