Instead of a new post , I'll tag along on this one.

I just got my new boat

Is it a VIIB , it does not say and if it the B version looking at the SH5 site it says the C just had a few adjustments with the same engine layout and power but it was bigger and heavier which also made it slower and less maneuverable.

If that is the case , is there any point in taking the C boat when it comes along ? or do you have to take it to get to the C/41.

Thanks.

ps .. Game missions = Happy Times the last 4 times I've went to get to the patrol area ( HT sink 10 ships or the other one 200,000tns) I run into a convoy on the way there. Q? Do I ignore them and just go to my patrol area , clicking on the 2 cross icon on the map does 2 things mission data in terms of sinking ships 1 = 10 ships 2 = 200,000tns and clicking on them brings up a marked shaded patrol area with a red line to indicate the shipping lane.

I take it , that to get mission "points" or to complete either the sink 10 ship one or the other one sink 200,000tns has to be done in the marked shaded patrol area? And any ships sunk outwith that marked area does not count towards the mission goal

If that is the case , then I think its a bit silly as I take it no Uboat captain would pass up a ship or a convoy so that he could sink others in his marked patrol area. And if that is the case , it does I think take away from the game. I know Im just getting started with SH5 and I know there are issues with the game, but leaving those aside, I don't get that same feeling when sailing out of port to go to war in SH5 as I DID in SH3 even straight out the box.
