Blockade Of Germany

Not a fan of these mission would rather have a area to patrol and sink what I can, but seeing they are in the game I've tried to complete them. On the subject of the BOG you have to sink 5 AMC I take it that means Armed Merchant Ships, thing is from mid Dec 39 to Mid Feb 40 I've been asked to patrol marked areas in that area from North of Scotland to the South East coast of Iceland. 3 months I've sank 5 Merchants all unarmed, I've not came across any in that patrol area. But I did sink 2 Capital Ship , NW of Lerwick I was sitting on station and they sailed right into my sights about 1000mts right across my bow.

Q is , anyone else doing this mission get the 5 AMC in that patrol area ? In 1.01 I bagged 3 of them in the same area but with little contacts coming into the area and the ones that did were unarmed I was wondering if there is a time-date in 1.02 to arm merchants.

AMC = Armed merchant cruiser

Basically an auxilliary cruiser, wont be part of a convoy carrying cargo but a designated warship carrying out patrols watching for blockade breakers in RL and ingame too
Usually sail in pairs from what I have seen or sometimes 3s
Rarely seen in convoys as an escort

Oh I hear ya, I been on this one quite a spell and only found one so far. There have been many merchant ships pass through and I've had to pass them up unless by deckgun cause I cant waste torps on them as I'll need them for these warships.
The one I did bag I nearly didn't get him due to the weather and heavy seas. And I learned my lesson to pay attention to whether I have salvo selected or not too...........

.
Wasted three fish on that guy cause I only ment to fire one more at him after two weren't enough. And I think it might have went down with the first two but I didn't give it a chance to. But I was gonna lose him if I didnt fire as he was too fast to catch up to in this sea.

I've been repsitioned twice, and on the second order to reposition it didn't set a new area, and indicates objective complete even though the indicator bar is only 1/4 full.

Early on when I first arrived up here I wasted three fish on a merchant cause I didn't know better about the type of ships I was after since then the objective only said "sink 5 ships" with no indication of type.

Now down to five fish left, and thats not gonna be enough so will have to go back and reload to finish up.

Swing by Loch Ewe. You'll be happy.

Do they count ? I thought that had to be sunk in the marked area , Loch Ewe is not in that area.

Oh im sure they do, Kylaina wouldn't advise this if they didn't. I'd take his word fer it any day. A trusted mate, he is.
