Questions: Photo Recon Missions

PacificSwordsman · 03-31-07, 01:14 PM

I am about 15 nm outside of Hiroshima harbor, having been dispatched on a photo recon mission of that harbor after dropping off an agent in another part of Japan.

My questions are:

Is there a camera that I use to take pictures of (I would assume) the ships at anchor in the harbor?

If so, what are the keyboard combinations to use to activate the camera and then to actually take the photos?

How many ships do I need to photograph to get a mission complete?

Thanks in advance and good hunting.

Alrighty, I'll be the first to say that recon missions suck...especially if the harbour is guarded by a DD. If it is, don't do the recon in the day, do it at night or near dusk, That way it's harder for the DD to spot your periscope.

Now, onto your question about photographing anchored ships, even though if you hover over the photography button in the periscope view you can see what you're supposed to do.

Basically, go to periscope depth, get out either periscope, doesn't really matter, aim it at the ship you want to photograph, lock on it with the red S button thingy in the torp control panel, then click on the photograph button on the control bar on the bottom.

Done!
