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

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:

Do as you please, the campaign will automatically end on this date, wherever you are.

I decided to try sneaking into Plymouth and having a pop at the Ark Royal. When I was sneaking back out again though, I would get so far, and then the program crashed. I tried this several times, on different days, but it always crashed - strange because it hasn't crashed before. I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience. On the plus side, while I was sitting in the Channel gnashing my teeth, along came HMS Eagle...

Found the Carrier and a troop transporter at Plymouth lying at the dock. Took both out but for some unknown reason i wasn't creditted for either. Do they have to be in motion to get the credit? I've read a few guys on the thread got creditted for sinking a carrier at the dock so now I don't know anymore. Please help!!

The thing I did was wait outside Plymouth for several days, eventually you will find that either a carrier fleet leaves the port heading south or returns. Your sonar should be able to pick up the tell tell signs of a task force from quite a distance.

Be patient. Note that the lack of depth means DD's are going to be on top of you and hitting you hard. Give yourself some distance to target 4000-5000 metres.

In my case I spotted one carrier fleet with my hydrophone heading due north, destination Plymouth. I set about lining up my shots - distance approx 4000 meters from the target and fired, missed all four, arghhh:down: .

Spent the next hour trying to evade escorts, depth charged all the way. As I finally manage to evade the escorts my sonar guy detects another task force heading south, looks like it left Plymouth, raised periscope. Yippe!!! I got myself another carrier. I lined my sub once again - 4200 metres, did the maths, calculated AOB, triple checked results, crossed my fingers and fire all torpedos. Lowered periscope and tried to high tail it out of there. Few minuter later - Boom _ torpedo impact. 1 hit 3 misses. Well something is something and at least the escorts have not zeroed in on my position. Up periscope - Shes on fire doing about 1 knot - she's in real trouble. 1 hour later she sinks :arrgh!:. Mission completed back to base to lick my wounds.

Ok Cool. I guess that they have to be moving / active to be creditted for a kill. Will wait outside the doc to get a kill. Cheers mate

Good hunting, just remember that you don't have to sink any in order to finish the campaign. The end date for this campaign is 1 June 1040. I you reached this date the game will automatically take you to the campaign end screen with a summary of your actions even if you're in mid patrol. Also remember that the Wesenlbung Campaign (not sure of the spelling) can be activated between March-April 1940, this will be the start of battle for Norway. Go to the mission giver, request mission, and click at on the tab with the mission name.
