Why am I given patroll routs that can't be done?
 

I am asked to patroll BD91 its on the US Coast I don't have the range to do it even at ahead slow. I am in a VIIB Sub.

ahead slow is not the most economic power setting for your boat, your better off with ahead one third.... nevertheless, that's entirely besides the point: the real issue is that Bdu is just wack, ignore it if it's simply impossible to acomplish.

sorry, double post

It's a one way ticket for Bernard. :D

Request a change - in other words, change the patrol grid yourself.

- If before the patrol, use SH3Cmdr or edit the relevant PatrolArea entry in Patrols_0.cfg.

- If mid-patrol, save/exit the patrol (no need to exit SH3 though) and edit the PatrolArea entry in the relevant save folder's .psc file (it's a text file). Just remember that Patrol 5's save files (for example) are stored under folder titled 4.

Remember when the BdU asked me to patrol inland England....... I was like......oooookay:o

Yea LOL they will give you patrols hundreds of miles inland at times (shrug).

It is just drunken orders from BDU. I was given coordinates to patrol a tiny piece of a square as the rest of it was land. I guess I was to look for skiffs to sink or something. I went and did it anyway. I would just return to port with what I can get as far as tonnage. I have used all my torps before on the way to the assigned grid and sent a radio message. BDU told me to return even though I did not reach my grid. Oh well, I got some renown but not all I guess.:damn:

Hmmm....reminds me of the time when I was suppose to patrol the coast of Greece in a place where 8/10 of the square was inland Greece. I went there, patroled the little water which was there and went on to sink a couple o' buggers around Malta:smug:

Yep, same with me...some tiny creek to patrol.

I got given the Solent to patrol once - it was then that I finally realised that Onkel Karl hated me...

Pardon...what is Solent?

Stretch of water in between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Not fun with GW mod!

I've been to Isle of White!:up: But eh.....that's just a couple o' 1000 meters innit? Why would you like to go there anyway.....:doh: :hmm: :88) :stare: :dead:
