End mission: British Coastal Waters
 

Hello captains

could anyone help me with ending my first proper mission?

Was supposed to sink 50.000 tonnes of enemy shipping, sunk 117.000 tonnes. Mission appears to be "done" in mission list ( I have hit M and looked for the mission desription, then hit ESC to see it appears finished ) however after going back to Kiel and clicked the anchor icon, i was only able to restock topredoes as "finish mission" option is not highlighted.

I am at the docking bay also, moved my boat as close to the bunker as i could yet I cannot finish the mission for some reason.

Anyone came across this problem before? the game is an original, registered disc, uplay is online also - what gives?

Oh, no mods installed yet.

The game is useless without mods .

Are you sure your home base is Kiel? still?
Maybe your home base is already Wilhelmshaven?
Look at the map.. where is the "sub" icon?

indeed... despite starting the mission at Kiel I should have ended it in Wilhelmshaven... Thanks for the tip and thumbs up to me: the greatest lost captain on entire planet.

Now to mod the game properly. Suggestions are welcome ( SH3 GWX die hard here )

That is a known bug with stock SH5 campaign: it doesn't tell you when you have switched tio Wilh.
But that is the only case of such problem that is known.

I read this post before I even finnished my first mission the British Coastal Waters. So when I had sunk over 50 000 tonnes I headed straight for Wilhelmstafen and low and behold there is my new sub base.

HOWEVER, I still dont have my little iron corss icon on the map for completeing it. AND in the main menu exit it says my mission is incomplete!

WHY?

I have already selected my new mission the "Northern Patrol routes" Looking forward to taking out a carrier!

A tip... do Breaking The Fortress before selecting any other mission when running OHII v2.0 full. It's only a small time frame to sink a Capitol Ship at Scappa Flow. I got mine on 01/10/39.

I am running stock/vanilla.

I wanted to get a decent amount of gameplay in before I tried out any mods

With SH5, the gameplay doesn't really begin until you mod it.

That is so true. After experimenting with SH5 the first time I found that out too. It's a waste of time trying to play without any mods. Stock SH5 is too broken to even bother.... the CD is only good for a beer coaster. ;) Mods will fix and improve SH5 so it's playable and enjoyable.

I do want to add mods, but i am at the low end of the system requirments. Any lite mods that would be worthwhile?

Anyway still any suggestions of completing the first mission i may have missed?

If your PC is not powerful enough to run OHII Full, i think you can find OHII Light :yep:
Nice one too.

What are your system specs? That will help with advice too. ;)

I'm on an old 2.33 duo core system, and the game is clunking along quite steadilly with (please excuse the lack of recognition for authors):

IRAI
OHII Lite
BRF (full)
Enhanced Funnel Smoke
SH5 Lifeboats
Reduced Mission Tonnage
Radio Messages
Equipment Upgrades Fix
Torpedo Splash
Sobers Smoke Screen.

I also had TDW's UI, but disabled it because it cluttered my screen too much (small screen). I also was running Dynamic Environment successfully, but disabled it due to the nights being too dark for my taste.


The base change thing hit me a day or so ago...I was returning to Bremen I think it was, with damage and in need of a resupply, and as I pulled into the port area, I didn't get the docking symbol...the 'home port' had switched to Brittany just as I was coming into port, so it was a quick refuel and then another long slog back the way I came...grrrrrr....

you can't use this mod - Reduced Mission Tonnage and OHII together.. this mod is for stock only..
