Okay... how do I drop supplies...
 

Okay... I've managed to sneak all the way to a Japanese port (on the German side BTW). The mission is to drop off supplies...

Ummm... guys... I'm there. Geisha girls are waving me on shore practically!

How the heck do I end the mission objective?!!!

stop the boat

Make sure you are surfaced stop engines when you are close to shore or harbour then box pops up to transfer supplys:salute:

I've never understood why some of the U-Boats missions direct you to deliver supplies for the Japanese through friendly uncontested waters like some sort of exotic merchant vessel. Couldn't someone find a spare sampan for the job and release the U-Boat for more important tasks? Sounds unhistorical too.

Probably the mission was already written and they reused it. :hmmm:

Swell.

You think they could have re-written them along plausible historical lines. Maybe you have to drop some agents off in the Middle East to stir up trouble for the British or deliver supplies to Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian Independence Movement to undermine their authority there.

Oh well...rant over. :ping:

Yeah, for resupply missions, agent deployments, and dropping off Marines, you have to stop the boat itself. For the latter two I think you might also have to do it at night (at least it forced me to do it at night), but for supply drops I'm pretty sure you can do it in the daytime.


Though once when I did a supply drop, the rubber raft somehow capsized as it deployed, so I ended up leaving the area while watching the two men in the raft row towards shore upside-down...

:har: At least you don't do what I did and back out while turning and run them over.

I did that last night while inserting Guerillas on New Britain:haha:

Dont forget to mention.. thats the noisest rubber boat Ive ever heard !

I hear ya. It makes the most horrible screeching/banging noise.:o

The one I loved was when it assigned me to drop supplies at a friendly port. Eight ships either docked or at anchor, and I couldn't pull up to the dock and offload them directly? No, I had to stop in the harbor and lower the rubber dinghy.:rotfl:

Yeah, I got pretty annoyed at sailing halfway round the world to drop off supplies, passed a few convoys headed that way enroute.

Sod that.

I decided Uncle Karl might be more appreciative of my boat and crew, so I installed OM and I'm now having a lot more fun in the Atlantic (it's still "Happy Time").

I hate the dropping off suplies missions.They are so boring and you practically dont get to kill anything because your in friendly waters.I just go to my navigation map and let time pass by and when I get there and drop the lifeboat like it will blow up lol.:o

So long as you in a US sub on a drop mission there is nothing that says you cant attack any target that comes along so long as you are able to get to the drop alive and make the drop you can do whatever on the way there or back. The U-boat ones are quite stupid I agree as is the fact that the stupid ass dingy always ends up clanging aginst your sub and very often gets flipped by waves. And another thing I notice if you do a supply drop 2 of your sailors drive the dingy but you never get them back and they never disapear from the roster but those 2 saps had to come form somewhere yet they simply go to shore and get left as if they where commandos or a spy being dropped off seems to me with the supply drop you should have to wait for you two crewman to come back and the game should make them come I dont think they will if you sit there.Just one of those strange oversites that has somehow been missed.Maybe those two sailors where stowed inside the dingy? If so crappy crappy crappy assingment.
