I can't believe the Nelson does not count towards your goal.:nope:
Seen it twice while going home empty, after wasting time on 2 sunken frigates and an arrmed merchant. |
Kinda annoying searched all night and found two auxilary cruisers.
While doing so intercepted two task forces and sunk two battleships. One with a four torp spread, One hit the armory under the forward guns. The other with my remaining two forward torps. She slowed, listed and sunk 15 minutes later. I must say all this complaiining about the failures of the damage model have me confused. I've sunk maybe half of my 20 kills via flooding. So only the small guys count but two battleships won't help the German Cause? Also what good is this blockade? The Spanish Armada could sail through the damn thing with ease. I spent 15 days sailing the line and those were my only contacts. |
GOT'EM ALL !!!!!
Ran into the first two traveling together and just laid for them to cross my bow. BOOM and BOOM. Two weeks latter about the same spot got another one. Found one in Scappa Flow, but didn't count. Got one outside Scappa, it did. The Last one I ran into was heading away at 20 Knots, I had to use my extreme spped of 21 knots to try and play catch up. I had no more shells left so I couldn't shell him to get his attention from 10 km away. So I had to folow him for what seemed like forever. Then it began to rain and I lost him. I dove and picked up a contact, so I proceded to where the contact was, then dove again for another reading. Found him and finaly got a visual though it was hard with the huge swells and down pour. At 3km distance he still hadn't seen me. I only had two torps left, one bow, one stern. I went ahead full and finnaly got around him and began pulling away from him towards the front. I went to where he was just out of sight, about 1 km now and dove. Quickly turning port to set up my angle on him. I ran to my periscope and to my astonishment when I peered through it, he was right there, perfect shot, no aiming required, no time for orders, LOOSE ! Nailed him at 500 meters. I figured he must have sped up like a Son of A Gun to cover that distance so quick. He slowed down to a crawl, so I knew he was wounded well. I gave the order to spin a 180 bringing my stern to his now burnning hull. I sank him with my last shot. On Feb.29th, Leap year 1940 ( ? ) and one day before the March 1st deadline Donitz put me on. Got the Knights Cross. All this ten minutes after I was supposed to be at work!!!! My boss understands.:D EDIT: Yes 1940 was a leap year. |
Managed to find the 5 aux ships with no trouble. Ark Royal was eluding me pretty well though. I swing south to do some patrols and found her moored in in Plymouth. Moved my way through the destroyer screen and let loose 4 torpedo's on her. All hit just under the main tower and I watched her slowly sink into nothing.
No credit for it on the mission. Refitted and spent another 5 days patroling for another carrier. Nothing :( Mission cleared out and I made the move to Norway. Only mission that listed as incomplete for me was the Aux cruiser/carrier mission :( |
Found a group of 4 aux cruiser some miles W of Scapa Flow, heading at 5 knots straight W. Date was 24th december. Merry Christmas for them :P
Good luck on those still on it... |
I went hunting for the two funneled ships and just like our buses i waited for ten ays and two came sailing by bang bang two less and 3 to go.
Another 6 days and along came another 2 bang bang one more to go waited and waited for days nothing i decided to move towards iceland west coast and low and behold there was one scullking down he went. having already sunk a carrier at the beginning of the game i thought ,Reading the forums that it would be counted towards this part of the campaign. like heck it was had to go looking for another flat top managed to find it around Plymouth only had on eel left so had to make it count. crept in as deep as i could and popped up in between escort and carrier a quick calculation and Torpedo loss The carrier went up as though it was hit by a neuclear bomb and sank like a stone Time to make myself scarce and head for home on way back through English Channel met with 3 large Convoys unescorted argggh nien torpedoes. Just my luck could have had a feild day and finished off chalenge 3 but will settle for what i have and get home to fight another day Wolf |
Hello there, I got all the Auxiliary Cruisers in Scapa Flow over two patrols, first (around mid november 1939) there were three idling there at night along two battle cruisers (the Queen Elizabeth and -probably- the Nelson), I have to sunk two destroyers patrolling on the left Scapa Flow entrance, then both 31000 tons battle cruisers [was epic :)] then put my remaining torpedoes and deck guns to sunk two among the three AC, seriously damaging the third one. Then on my second patrol I found no less than five AC idling there again at night (around mid-december 1939) along two destroyers and a few merchants, destroyed most of them while keeping four torpedoes, which were put to good use few times later to destruct another Battleship (the Queen Elizabeth again! wtf?!?). Now i have two months left to find that carrier.

weird...
The troop transports were pretty easy, just crept around scapa flow, nailed 3 of them, went to refit came back and there was 2 more. The carrier was a bit more interesting, I sailed alllll over the place but kept checking back to see if it was moored in plymouth harbour, I did this 5 or 6 times until finally it was there. I spent a ton of time setting up a nice 4 torpedo spread and BOOOOOM, sank the ark royal right there. I started heading out of the port with the burning wreck of the first one behind me, looked up on the nav map to make sure it counted and NOPE, didn't count, I was really pissed, but it does say you need to sink one PATROLLING. About 500 metres from the mouth of the harbor, there's another ark royal LOL steaming in with it's whole escort group doing 1 knot, nailed it with my last 4 torps and got it that way.

Carrier
It is January 22, 1940...I have sunk all AMC ships and credited with sinking 100,000 tons of supplies. I just need to find and sink that darn carrier. Anybody have any ideas? Just trolling. :06:
|
She is set to spawn in Plymouth then patrol the area marked on the map. So you may wanna check time by time if she is not n port.. its nuff to click on the port name and if she is there, it will shown the her name next to the port name.

Completed Total Germany
I completed Total Germany on Feb. 1, 1940. Problem is...I went back to port, ended patrol, and the officer showed me the same orders for Total Germany. I have all of the crosses filled in with the exception of the last one. Will this be filled in when I recieve my new orders and how do I recieve them?:hmmm:
|
The next mission will be available at 01.03.1940. Until then, go out and patrol &have fun.
|
Thanks
Many thanks Zedi for the information on the carrier. Went to Plymouth looking for the Ark Royal. I found her docked, but lo and behold a Glorius class carrier was coming in. Three shots at varied depths did her in. As an afterthought...do I just go back for a re-fit at said date?:salute:
