Hi there,

I started a campaign some days ago and I'm having trouble to bring it to a "succesfull" end. I sank a lot of ships but only completed one mission of the whole campaign. All of the sudden the game said: campaign failed, this is bad for germany. Now I wonder what I'm doing wrong...

1. is their maybe a maximum of patrols you can do before a mission ends? Should I rather "refill" instead of "end patrol"?

2. do I need to stick to one mission (blockade of germany, coastal patrols, ...) and finish it before even considering to start a second mission?

3. is there a list of all the ships in game somewhere so I can see their tonnage? That way I could choose my target according to tonnage...

4. is it better to hit a boat with one torpedo, let it burn, stick with it and hope it will sink? Or is it better to sink it right away with 3 torpedo's or so and then go home to refill?

I mean: I sunk a lot of boats and still I fail?? I don't get it.

Thanks for helping out a noob: and yes, I love this game except for the key mappings (azerty here).
