Changing options in the middle of a camaign?

[Antiacus]

I'm sure this has been answered a million times, but my search-fu is clearly too weak.

I got started in a campaign and made it through kiel canal & almst to my AO when i realised somewhow i'm still on easy mode!

Is there someplace i can go to edit my options?

I'm running TDW's MO mod with mano's scopes.

Thanks!

i do not think so - i think you must be in bunker to change your options.

Thanks. I guess i'll just do this patrol then change them. I enjoy doing all of my own plotting. Not sure why, no matter how many times i put my settings how i want them, it defaults back to 38%.

There is an auto pilot for the Kiel Canal within MO.

if you are doing this in bunker... not in main menu they will remain like you will sett all the time

Thanks for the replies. I used the harbor pilot for about half my trip through the canal. Then I freaked out and overode it when I had a near miss with a freighter. I then re-activ ated the harbor pilot lol. Im still at 70% hull integrity, I reported tobdu it was the pilots fault, hehe. Good thing its 1939 and I can operate with relative impunity .

Let me make sure i understand how this is supposed to work.

I signed on for the Coastal Shipping mission. I'm supposed to sink 50,000 tons. If i run out of ordnance i just go back and refit until i get to 50k then i go back and end mission right?

Assuming i've got the gist so far, can i change options at a refit, or do i have to do it between missions?

Thanks

You can end patrol and change objectives anytime you are in base . Your tonnage will stay on record . The only time i refit is when my base is too far away and a friendly port is closer . Watch out for deadline dates in the objectives , does ending a patrol take longer than refit ?

Refit is near instantaneous. If you end patrol it seems to be about 2 or 3 weeks till the new patrol start date.

With refit you can only re-arm and refuel. Crew's morale stays as is. New patrol you can upgrade and the crew's morale is reset. Also hull damage is not repaired during a refit. Starting a new patrol restores hull integrity to 100%.

Yes sometime you get a bad pilot

Ive found the best method is to set speed to 7knot and goto map at tc64.

If you watch from the bridge and a ship is in your path, note your heading (say 270) and without stopping or pausing, steer past ship. Re-set your heading to the one you noted (270)and pilot should continue fine

Thanks, i think i'll go ahead and go back to port.

I went to use my deck gun and got a friggin laser range-finder/visual ballistics calculator! 21st century tech! Crazy. I need to turn this crap off before i get lazy
