thank

I founded it near the narvik operation area circle.

Maybe i was lucky, i founded it straight away on my first cruise in the area.

SUNK 3 IN SCAPA and they dont cont, the ports in norway are no friendly , date is may 15th 1940 and i cant find a single battleship entering norwiegn waters

The Task Force sails in April (I think) when they do, with the mission button selected, you will get a Task Force patrol line. You need to sink the BB inside the cross hatched region. When I found it, it was sailing along the red line drawn on the map (around April 8th) and I sank it within the cross hatched area. Scapa Flow is WAY outside the area you need to sink it in. You are probably too late in May now, or maybe you interrupted the history by sinking the ship before it sailed?

the deadline is june 1st, is that when the attack happens? , also i never saw the red line, ive only had the patrol areas

[Nisgeis]

Nope, April 1940 is when it happens (9th is when the invasion happened). You only get the red line showing the TF course on or around 8th April, when the TF is en route.

close when needed

That battleship is close to Narvik territorial circle on the 8th sailing into Narvik straits, along that red line that shows a few days before. Luckily i caught it in bad weather, laid in wait, and took her out easy enough, nice and deep ocean floor around there so easy to loose the crap destoyers around it.

You'll see a red line and a blue line on the nav map with April 6th date I believe. I think I ran into the task force on April 7th or 8th as they entered the patrol circle. Sent 3 torpedo's into her and as soon as the 3rd one hit it "transported" me to the patrol complete screen.

Wanted to see her sink and play cat and mouse with some Destroyers :(

That´s why I don´t like the current campaign
I hope the modders will change this "story line" thing and bring back the old style patrols (and add more and more things, imagine what they could do with the mod potential this game has)

I think the new campaign system has potential. It's nice having a goal that persists over a single patrol - makes it seem more like a proper campaign than a series of single patrols stuck together.

The thing that is odd is the 'You sank 20 million tons of shipping, but not where I told you to" part. I'm not really sure how 'failing' a campaign goal affects the subsequent campaign, but just because you didn't sink the right anmount of shipping in a certain area... hmmm...

[Juliano]

Yes and I kinda dislike the way the campaign goes like "I have sunk milions and milions of tons, sunk air carriers, sunk Battle ships, destroyed key taskforces blokading the sea passes, reduced the RN to beyond it´s breaking point and Germany is still loosing the war and not invading/issuing peace with England???"

I guessed, after sinking some key Battle Ships/Carriers, the course of history should change, after all, some times a single man/ship can make all the difference. Guess I was wrong :shifty:
I want my actions to have real impact on the entire war, not on my single patrol and earn just a medal.

Just immagine, what would have happened if by chance the ship/s that sunk Bismark where torpedoed by a U-Boat before that could happened?
Would that not probably changed everything?

In four years of playing SH3 I encountered one task force I had a prayer of intercepting. Although realistic, it made alot of modeling seem rather pointless.

I personally found the”go to X grid and patrol for a day" system of SH3 unfulfilling.

I found the "go take a picture of a carrier in Tokyo harbor" of SH4.....or heaven forbid the pilot in the sea rescue missions a bit ridiculous.
