I have been playing it for only a little while but I did the first 3 missions no problem, Scapa flow was a bitch but I snuck in and sank 2 large battelships a royal soverign and something else.

Snuck out with one torpedo left after taking out some of the destryers comming to get me. Sank a depth charging destoyer and had to surface otherwise we were all going to die of C02 poinsoning. used my deck gun to take out a small torpedo boat who did the most damage to me with his machinegun.

Anyway I digress. I did the next mission on the british coastal waters and then went on to the North Western Appraches. I got a new boat and did well to conserve fuel. I managed to go north around the Orkneys air cover then I started getting some nice convoy encounters and in only two sessions got my tonnage.
My first encounter with a task force. sunk a destroyer and then anouther Royal Soverign that was surrounded by 10 destroyers... got away after evading two depthcharging destroyers.
On my way home met a troop transport and a large convoy unprotected. I sunk the merchants with guns first and then took my time sailing at the surface in the middle of the convoy waiting for my rear torpedos to reload, used all my external spares and all of my deck gun ammunition.

So far so good - you seem to be doing well

I made it back to Wilhelms..... reloaded all my torpedos, used some of my renown to get a new paintjob and then went to the missions officer. BUT there are no new missions for me!

So questions being...

Do I go out on patrol and sink convoys until a mission becomes avaliable?

Or is this a bug?

When each campaign was updated with v2 - I linked most of the objectives so that they would appear when you finished the one before.
There are however some objectives that are date related (this is to keep the history buffs happy) and I have to stall the objectives.
So I could have set higher requirements but users who play real nav would find them very hard to finish in time.

ANyway yes, you should go and patrol anywhere you like and you will be sent a message when the next objective is ready.
You can check the dates here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=189818

What aspects of the game do I atribute to OHII or the stock game,

This is easy - anything that is good was OHII - anything not so good was stock

like a Battleship surrounded by 10 destroyers?

BBs should get a heavy screen
The escorts and convony system used in stock and in OHII is like this:-

I can set an escort of say 2 type A dds with a 20% chance of spawning
I can do this with other types - so some type b etc ect

Now this will result in a random chance for escort numbers and types, but there is also a very small cance that all can be spawns and sometimes you may see this.


Sink em all
