I gave my T1 torps TIV properties and I hit everything now...including myself sometimes. :yep:

I made sure I passed ALL of the training missions with "excellent" marks, because somebody mentioned somewhere that if you do it once, then ALL your careers will enjoy a higher prestige starting point

My Docs/SH3/Naval Academy.log ??? Think you have to change something in basic.cfg too. Been a long time since I mucked about those files.

zz

Is that the one where you start off in the middle of 4 ships, one each to the North, South, East & West? IIRC, it took me 2 tries to do it, but I did manage to sink all the merchants.

I've allways come home with a broom lashed to the periscope!:arrgh!:

I have no problem sinking any of them in the training. I'm not sure why it could be causing problems with others

"I reprogrammed the computer and changed the parameters of the test. Earned a commendation for original thinking."

I've done it sinking all ships 74% realism (that's the setting for the career anyway).

I fired one fish at every target as quickly as possible, waited a couple of minutes, then blew ballast, flank speed. Finished them off with UZO attacks from shorter range. IIRC the tanker was the fastest but he's a decoy, you should get the cargoes first, BUT you have to hit the tanker once so at least he's taking some water, on his way. Then you have to rush back and you need some luck that he's still around. If you go for the tanker first it's trickier IMO, because by the time you catch him the rest are ALL further.

"Practice Makes Perfect" lol :know:

Just use the auto-aim and keel shots. Pretty easy that way. :up:

For the trainning mission, I passed but it was quite difficult. I torped everyone as soon as possible, only one fish per ship. Usually, that stops them. Once you score a hit, then surface and approach another target. I got lucky with the first shot to the tanker. Target the C2 cargo, the steamer and the tanker first, then go for the others before they are too far away.

When you get to the farthest one, sink him and finish the others on surface.

It worked for me!

I did, but only at something around 70% realism. I haven't tried it with the GW mod. Then again I don't think I want to lol.

Are we talking about sinking all the ships? I've never done that, but I have sunk all but one before with GW.

I made it through all of the training missions, and get just over 1500 starting renown with every new career.

I did not achieve an excellent result on each mission, notably the Flak, and perhaps the Convoy mission as well.

They weren't that difficult at 72% realism (I use 79% in careers). The torpedo mission is perhaps one of the more challenging since the ships start moving once the first torpedoes have hit, but hey: that's why you can train it a few times before taking the exam!:up:

The hard ones are deck gun and AA gun with GW mod

AA wiyh GW for sure!:damn:
