Blockade of Germany help..
 

What does the game mean by AMC ships? Merchants or warships?

thanks..

also any tips on finding an aircraft carrier?

Hello.
AMC ships are ' Armed Merchant Cruise '
as far as i remember when using the hydrophone, you get a blue line indicated a warship type for this ship. but that applies only for this mission at Blockade of Germany. in all other campaigns, AMC ships are treated as a merchant ship where you will see a black line when using hyrophone. i guess you can see her at game museum. do this so you can spot it more easily at campaign.

This what you are looking for...

There is a near-identical non-military version that will not count towards the objective. You can tell them apart by looking for a large gun on the forward deck. No gun = let it go. Your objective is armed and hostile. It will return fire so be careful.

Hint... Lock Ewe is a good place to hang out. Be patient.

Creeping around, still nothing yet.

I've got two out of five so far..

I think there were a couple of armed ones hanging out in Scarpa flo, I noticed when I went in and sank the queen elizabeth (which magically respawned on top of it's self!! almost sunk it again but thought I ought to leave, despite the fact the escorts didn't even bother to try looking for me!

I'll try Loch Ewe, once I've looked up where it is! :)

Are you using any mods for AI? if not please try this. Stock AI is so dumb , it is gonna ruin your campaign.

I have that now..

I didn't when I went into scrapa flo.. but when I went into loch ewe i did... I sunk 2 AMC and none of the 'sleeping' escorts woke up.

I save and surfaced... the parked merchants opened fire, but only one destoryer botherd to come near me!

I also managed to destory a battleship beign escorted by 6 or 8 destroyers... none of them ever got close to finding me... maybe it's cos I'm still in 39?

Not sure that mod is working... i got lazy and to get the next amc I went back into loch ewe... I had only 2 rear fish left, fired one.. reloaded. fired two... almost sunk here... there was a mist so I thought to risk it... pulled away to about 3000 meters, surfaced and finished her with the deck gun..

still no one came looking for me.. :S
