@sparrs: I feel ya pain I'm (perhaps foolishly) trying to finish my first campaign without to much modding.

AMC stands for Armed Merchant Cruiser. They are actually 'Rawalpindi' class troop ships (in the recognition manual) and show up as warship contacts (radio or visual) in the designated northern patrol area.

I don't know how you're supposed to now that, I did a fair bit o searchin to work it out myself, and confirmed it by sinking a few.

There is quite a few about and they just generaly tavel back 'n' forth in the open sea. Don't be too blas-e, they're pretty heavily armed!
Thanks for that, I also did some searching on the forums last night, sussed out what they are, and I sunk three docked at both Loch Ewe (sp?) and Scapa Flow, but its early February and I still have to sink a carrier plus two other AMCs. A question: I have completed the Western Approaches mission, but I dont think there is no way I can complete the Northern mission before March 1st. It means I either refit (am out of torpedoes), or go back to base and end my three week patrol. Hard choices for me and my crew! If you dont complete the three missions in the first campaign, do you fail? Does the second campaign remain unlocked? I am thinking now that maybe I will install Open Horizons, up the difficulty level a bit (it was a breeze going into Scapa...a stationary destroyer stayed stationary after I had sunk an AMC plus a tanker). What do you suggest? Thanks (and sorry also for hijacking this thread)...
