Please forgive my noobness I have never played a game like this before.
I spoke to the guy at the pier the game loads at (wolves of steel), selected the mission option and half translated the German half read the text about the Poland mission.
1. As I understand it I'm supposed to take out merchant ships in the Danzig area?
What's confusing me is when I open the objectives screen there's nothing there. I do have a waypoint in north of Danzig in the Baltic Sea and a message that says about not attacking "English, etc....Boats to remain in waiting positions for the present."
2. Do I have a mission active or not? Am I to go to the waypoint and sit there? The "present" is something to shoot at? That's what I did, went to the waypoint and I'm sitting there bored to death.
Would be nice if things were straight forward. 'Go to *these coordinates* and attack *these* ships until further orders.'
I have no idea if I'm progressing in the game or just wasting fuel cruising the boat around. To conserve fuel I've gone to the waypoint and sped time up to make it daylight so I can see because night is blackness.
3. Is that how this game is? It's a lot of doing...not much....until we find a ship?
4. Is there a way to find ships to sink more often?
5. Will I get missions randomly or is this how the game is, mostly boring as hell but really interesting at the same time because I'm on and commanding a WWII sub! (?)
Thanks a lot! It's a relief actually getting replies. I was about to give up on the game and request a refund because it took me 3 days just to get the game running.
6. What is the time and date format in the messages? The message I have says 0445/1/9. I have no idea what 0445 is unless that's time of day (Military time 4:45am) day/month? GMT Time it's 9am 9/1/1939 so I'm hoping a ship to sink appears SOON!
I have no other icons on the map other than the waypoint, ports, and my own ship.
7. Am I missing a setting somewhere that turns icons for other ships on?
Yeah. I'm full of windy questions.
