got back into SH5 this week, continueing my campaign from around 7 months back.
first i couldnt get it to start the uplay launcher, then i had mayor problems getting an enemy ship in my sights at Narvik to complete the photo recon.
then i finally got that, and the tonnage for that mission, only didnt get the battleship and it says i failed Weserubung. a bit harsh, i thought. but anyway.
moving on, i found myself back in base on May 1st and i still have SWA to do. tonnage bar is still almost completely empty. I read somewhere that the tonnage target is 100.000 which seems a bit impossible with only 1 month to go and 2 weeks sailing to the target area.
finally got there, sunk a few 3000-4000 tonners with 1 torpedo and deckgun.
then i stumbled upon a convoy of 15 7000-tonners. No escorts in sight!
1-shot kills during several hours gameplay.
but the mission objective (patrol bf13xx for 72 hours) refused to say 'completed' and the tonnage bar filled up a little bit, but not quite as much as i would have thought, with 60.000 tonnes in my captains log. looking more closely, and there it was: 0000-00-00 on half my kills. goddammit to hell
been following your thread with interest.
thank you for your excellent and tenacious research, and thank you for a good workaround. what a shame that the game forces us to take such measures.
hats off to you sir
