Sinking Warships, Does It Add To Total?

ak47_mojo · 12-29-14, 05:54 PM

Hello all, I'm pretty new here and I don't know how active this forum is anymore but I have a question

So i'm doing the first 'Happy Times' campaign and I want to know if sinking warships adds to the total of the 'Sink 200,000 tonnes in the North Atlantic Total'. I've had loads of problems with this game simply not adding my kills to the tonnage bar anyway but I don't want to be wasting eels on juicy targets when they're not going to add to the total anyway.

Thank you to any replies

ak47_mojo!

If you key the mission tag on your map and it says 200,000 cargo (SH V?) then its cargo only...if memory serves; but I always duck into any friendly port for replenishment instead of total refits at the home port-too time consuming- until hull integrity or damage dictates otherwise... so have fun! SINK 'EM ALL!

Hey mate, first of all: welcome!

Im new myself, but been reading alot on this game

and maybe i can help you.

When u take ur mission (from the guy at the docks) u get an yellow icon on the map. (a ship sinking)
Its somewhere around the area of ur mission.
Its also on the big map, press M or the wheel in the right corner of ur screen.

If im correct u need to go to that area and patrol it. take ur map and draw a 10 km circle around that yellow icon and stay in there.
That way every boat u pick up (visual or by hydro) will be close to that point u get to do ur patrol.

Search around, if u do find enemy boats around that point u can attack them and that yellow icon will be gone and now u are free to search the whole area (where ur mission is)
For as long u havent sunk a ship in the surroundings of ur patrol point the tonnage sunk somewhere else doesnt count!
When u encounter no enemy for a while u will get another partol point from HQ.

Yes warships count, but very little, as they have much less tonnage then merchants.
My advice is avoid them and look for the lone merchants, or the convoys!
I ran into a convoy of , no kidding, 15+

merchants and only 2 escorts, so yes i offered 2 fishes on them and surfaced ready to do some mayor masacre with my deck gun

Feel free to ask if u have more questions and hope this will work.
ps: Any mods running?
