Hello from one of Europeīs largest inland islands!
Iīve been playing SH5 for a couple of weeks now and was quite happy with the German Ubi-forum. Lately, that one seems to be a little idle which brings me here to the mighty SUBSIM Radio Room!
IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT IN HERE???
Since SH5 is my first subsim since the glorious AotD I am seriously impressed by some of the graphics and weather effects - and, not surprisingly, appalled by the incredible bugfest and confused by the sheer number of necessary mods.
All you modders out there: youīre doing one hell of a fine job.
Imagine a six-feet-five German with dreadlocks down to his butt crawling through the dust and bowing down in front of you - īcause thatīs what I am doing right this moment...
Okay...down to business. My observation/problem is the following: being quite an aggressive player and not wanting to search the vast ocean for the enemy I started my vanilla/stock- as well as my Schleichfahrt (with IRAI)- campaign by sneaking into many ports and sinking a lot of enemy ships there, even in neutral ones like Amsterdam and Bergen.
I have to be careful going in there (but not toooo careful, itīs still ī39) but once my first torpedo finds a target and I would expect that all hell breaks loose over me - nothing happens...
The destroyers (by the way, far too many modern and expensive fleet destroyers patrolling the ports - thatīs a job for all thatīs old and small, not the brand new Tribals...) turn towards the sound but go completely still and idle. At first, I just slaughtered all these poor zero-knot-victims but I decided to leave them. Itīs just not...sporting...
Is somebody working on a mod fixing that issue?
And by the way: going into a harbour, sinking all eight ships (far too many large tankers there!) only to see new ships respawning out of nowhere doesnīt add to the atmosphere either...
Whatīs YOUR experience with attacking ports?
Cheerio,
Alex
