Operation Weserübung help

[Gashead]

The first part of this mission is fairly easy as you need to destroy five ships near Narvik and the area is marked on the map.

The next part is to destroy a battleship in Norway's territorial waters.

This area is not marked but I assume that the ship will be somewhere along Norway's coast.

My question is where is it best to hunt for a battleship and does it have to be a certain type of ship like the earlier mission in the Total Germany campaign?

Also on a general note if I fail to find the ship in time do I fail the whole campaign and have to start again?

On April 8th, or thereabouts, when you click on the mission icon and it shows you the mission routes, it will show in red the line that the British TF is taking. Just hang around in the circle, at the end of the line, or what I did ws to hang round further in at a more narrow point, to be sure to get it.

Well,

I have a problem with this one... I think I may have arrived to Narvik too late.
I sunk The Queen Elizabeth, it was sailing back to England. Then I wanted hunt for the other 5 ships within the patrol area - though sailed many times there and back again, I didn't find ANY enemy merchant/battle ship.

I sunk the battleship on 9th April. From this moment I had no enemy contacts near Narvik. It's 11th May now and I'm starting to get a little upset Anyone had similar problem? I would be grateful for help

[Nisgeis]

You might be too late, after April, Norway becomes a friendly port, so the enemy won't be sending ships there to trade anymore.

Unfortunately... I know the history of Norway Invasion, thought that maybe there is a chance to get the mission complete. Thanks for a quick answer.

First, sorry for reviwing this old thread. But i'm Currently on this misson (Operation Weserübung) and having some problems.
I have sunken the 5 ships, found the Warship convoy.
The problem is when i sink the main ship (Queen Elizabeth?) my uboat suddenly gets destroyed for no apparent reason.

First i thought that the other warships might have spotted me and killed me. So i tried finishing them off first, and sinking QE last. I managed to sink all ships but after 5 seconds my uboat just got destroyed again...
Could this be a bug? Or am i not supposed to sink this ship?
It's just weird cause i can't find any reason for why my uboat gets destroyed.
I was not moving at all, not in shallow water, and no ship spotted me...

Hi guys. I also need help with this one as the whole day I was trying to find a battleship that can count for completing the mission. Sunk tons of battleships in Scapa without any result on mission status and except Scapa I just can't find any other battleship. Best I found was a convoy along the norvegian coastline with some heavy escort, but thats it.

I also followed the marked red line that show the british task force route starting from April 5 till 12 without any luck. Sunk battleships in Scapa before and after 9 April, same... it not count for the mission. So I'm tired and hopeless. Can anyone pls give me a hint where to search, where to patrol.. I wanna end this campain, is already 2 day since I try to complete it. Thanks in advance.

I went to the narrows leading to Narvik and the first contact was a task force with a battleship with it. I suggest that you try to go to Narvik territory late March or early April. Early stage of battle of Norway tommies are moving heavily to the Narvik, both cargo and army ships. I had to restart that mission myself because I didn't know how to recon ships.

[Zedi]

I give up, there is no way to end this. Did what Peni sugested, but I arrived at April 7 at the entrance to Narvik channel. Camped the place until April 20 and the only task force I saw was a.. huge convoy guarded by 6 destroyers heading to Narvik They will always arrive there on April 12. I also saw a lot of brit merchant ships heading to Narvik even at April 20, this is just ridiculous.

I don't have any saves before April 5, so I can't restart the mission. And restarting the campaign is not an option. So I'm thinking to cheat and modify the save files so I can get the mission complete.. I really can't see any other viable option. This is a really bad mission design, not to mention that I don't get any help from Bdu or the whole damn german navy with hints about a huge battleship sailing in a hot area when germans are about to take Norway.

The way I did it was just to sit at the NE corner of the patrol route in the deep part of the channel. Battleship group sailed right into me as I sat waiting for it.

At what date? I'm completely stuck on this, is the 3th day I try to complete it.

[Conrad von Kaiser]

Got up there Probably April 2nd.

I sunk the battleship on April 1st 1940 she was on the same route which the merchants take, she was a QE class, probably meant to be Warspite as that is historically accurate, but Warspite wasn't actually sunk so the game is a bit weird when it omes to accuracy


the most difficult thing was finding the ships to sink luckily the BB seems to count as 1 but apart from that there are hardly any merchants and destroyers are quite hard to hit as they are usually in groups

now I am onto 'Happy Times'

Nobody though of compiling a list of scripted convoys, targets, etc that do count towards reaching a certain objective?

Reading these threads, I think most of the time the "important" targets are not always where they are supposed to be
