On my 2nd patrol with TMO 1.9 and I am enjoying it.
Have a few questions:
1)
There are a few questions on missions. I got assigned
"Conduct anti-shipping operations in the East China Sea".
First, is there some place where you can see what missions mean and how to complete them? East China Sea is a vaguely defined area at best.
Problem is, the East China sea is completely empty save for two destroyers scooting up and down the coast off Shanghai and down to Formosa. I sank two cargoes in the Formosa strait - didn't count as Completed towards my objective.
Went to one of the Ryukuu islands and popped a tethered tanker. That didn't count towards it either.
I can't catch the damn destroyers, they are too fast for me and the water is very shallow. I used some shipping lane maps I found but they seem to strike against my luck.
Down to 50% fuel - should I give it up and turn back home? I already bagged 4 merchants and that I am quite happy with - just nags the heck out of me that Im told to sink ships in a sea that hasn't got any ships in them! And when I sink some ships they arent counting, maybe because I was out of the East China Sea. But that is a bit hard to tell!
2) What is the range of hydrophones?
