April Fools Day Mission

Sirkam · 01-30-08, 03:58 AM

I do this mission yesterday and, i don't know, i cant make the conditions of the mission ("Sink the Heavy Cruisers" and "Sink the Destroyers").
Well, i fired a couple of torpedoes to one heavy cruiser and i sank it (London Class). The next, i fired a couple of torpedoes again and i cant sank it. I fired a new torpedo and it impacted.....but the coastal shells blow the ship for me.

I'll be brief: I sank one London Heavy Cruiser and damaged another one, and the others ships were sank by the coastal fire. The mission objetives weren't accomplished...Why? All the ship were sank...

Not being the programmer (but being a long-time game player and scripter for some other games), the answer probably lies in the fact that while the ships sunk - you did not actually sink them. Therefore, since you did not get credit for the kill you did not succeed with the mission objectives.

Same happens to me in the Schnarhorst [sp] mission. I cannot get to the destroyers fast enough and as a result, even though they all sink, I don't succeed with the mission.

Best bet - if you get too frustrated with it, go to another mission...will save a lot of grey hairs in the future...

The game awards credit/renown to the factor that finally causes the destruction of the unit.

Quite often in game you can torpedo a ship in heavy weather, yet the additional flooding caused by the sea stete means you get no reward

Not in the mission, I created it.

Try going further out to sea so the sinkings are credited to you and not the shore batteries.
