I too am trying to complete triumph of the wolfpacks and it's..well..problematic
I leave breast...link up with a wolfpack off the irish coast and send a status report...continue in the pack WNW a while...pack changes course and heads WSW....I send in a status report...continue on with the pack a while...sept 24th bdu sends me a contact...hey my pack is heading straight for it, great!...continue on in the pack a while...Ship Sighted!...Taskforce Sighted!...radio in my contact report and dive to periscope depth...pack proceeds to cross the path of the convoy just in front of it and out of visual range and to my amazement after reading the threads I could find on the subject, they actually stopped about 3 thousand meters south of the convoy!...so by this time I'm already in attack position and ready to fire...I wait to see if the pack sets up for thier attack run...(sigh) no dice...each boat just make confused circles where they are about 2000 meters SW of my firing position...I make my initial attack...pack continues it's tight circles...by the time my attack is over, 9 ships are on the bottom (2 bieng the destroyer escorts I quickly dispatched with AP shells from the deck gun at extreme range as the convoy sailed on), for about 60k tons...lifeboats, debris, oilslicks, and corpses spanning a long swathe of the north atlantic...I grin with satisfaction as I fire a mag of AA rounds into the nearest lifeboat (a pity lifeboats are indestructable)...the whole time my wolfpack stayed in the same spot a couple thousand meters south of our initial contact point, each boat making tight circles...not very impressive
but...if I resupply and complete the tonnage requirement, will that be enough of a wolpack action to complete the mission requirements? somehow I doubt it as the crosses are still not filled
this is third time I've tried this mission...getting frustrated with it
