So i get a message. enemy task force is otw from truk to rabaol. it is expected at x.y at 16.00 hours 7 july 1942. To my utter amazement im actually close enough to get there in time.. in fact ill be there several days in advance.
So i move to the point.. put engine on idle until about 6 hours before the task force is expected to arrive and start doing my stuff to try and locate them (mostly going by hydrophones) and.....nothing..absolutely nothing.. i expand my search area.. still nothing.. i reload my game to the save point i have about 1 day ahead and start searching towards truk in a z moving across the expected approach line.. still nothing..i reload again. wave my magic wand.. still nothing. i pray to thor and odin, do complicated search patterns.. still nothing...
my question.. when these types of messages appear, are they allways more or less correct? or could it be that the convoy turned back? or something else coulda happened so they wouldnt be anywhere near the expected location at the expected time ?
oh and one more thing:
its now july 18th, 1942, im using an S18 boat (the one i started with), up to this point i have not been able
to "buy" a single upgrade for my sub. The upgrade table in my home port is completly empty..nothing there. is this normal ? i have about 1820 renown, but nothing to use them on
