Careers are boring?

Im not into the hardcore realism settings. I just want to be able to go on some career patrols and find something more than unarmed merchant ships. What am i missing? What do i need to do?

If you're looking for more than unarmed merachants, maybe you should try some of the missions?

I'd say.. If you want a career full of nice action.. check the convoy routs map and patrol along convoy routs. LOTS of action to be had there once you find one... especially if you happen upon a task force ! How about patrolling in between Gibraltar and Africa ? Or maybe pull of a raid on one of those pesky british naval bases !!

You'll be so overwhelmed with action that you won't know where to START patching those holes in your sub !

Do you play GWX 2.0 ? i'm playing in 1939 and there are not only Merchant ships belief me

Try starting in 1944, you'll be desperate to go back to 1939.

Even 42 is risky engaging on surface battles i cant imagine playing 100% realism (as i play) would be in 44(never made it that late).

...yep still trying to make to '44 here also...someday...

papa_smurf · 12-20-07, 03:15 PM

You'd be VERY lucky to make it through '44, what with almost constant air attacks or you U-boat day and night, hunter killer groups and improved ASW. I'd rather stick to '39 to about mid '42.

To my mind the Best answer to this question is learn to
make missions using ME

then you can have what you want at will after that.
