Hey Beery,

Great thread, thanks! I am doing the insert commando mission. I dropped them off not 50m from shore, but they just paddle around in the sea, and never seem to land. The mission does not show accomplished. Do I need to sail away or something?

thanks

I'm only completing patrols when within 60nm of the symbol.

I placed a compass circle at 90nm and stayed within it for 3 days. Incomplete still. Lowered it to 60nm circle and I finished it quickly.

Just a heads up.

Are you perhaps playing the metric version of the game? I'm thinking that there could be a bug where it reads the 100 as either imperial (miles) or metric (kilometres) depending on which version you're playing.

Could you be dropping them off too close? When I've dropped them off they always stop paddling well before they reach the shore and paddle back out to sea again. If you're dropping them off beyond the point where they turn around the game might not recognise that they've been launched at all.

Usually you just have to launch the boat and the mission completes instantly.

With Beery's permission I have added a few of my own findings and observations to his guide on this subject and made the whole thing available at my SHIV web site.

Go here:

http://www.wolfwillow.com/nu/westwin...HIV/index.html

and select "How to Complete a Mission" from the menu.

I have also built a few very simple missions you can download to practice mission completion in the several areas where the most difficulties seem to occur. Detailed briefings are there to assist you. Do not hesitate modifying these in the Mission Editor and publishing your own versions for the benefit of others. I welcome feedback/corrections etc. and will incorporate these in the document if appropriate.

This is a superb simulation but documentation of many essential features and operational controls is lacking, which creates need for all these guides and "help" forums. Well, we are here to do it but I would hope the developers would consider including these contributions as part of a future package.

You may find other items of interest at my site. Don't hesitate trying the custom missions or visiting the external links relating to WWII in the Pacific.

Best wishes,

Deploy just means go there. Once you reach the area and achieve your Deploy goal, Command will send you new orders... the Sink ships one.

sory for my english ;]

Guard.
You're required to go to the objective location and pick up pilots who parachute into the sea. You get 250 renown points if you pick up 5 pilots.

Im start mission on 10th AUGUST 1942 and I must be in the Area no later then 5th December 1942

Im in the mission aera and i cant see any pilots i have map update on but when i arrive for down pilot there are just sea no living Soul.

I patroling the Area for Several days and nothing

HELP!!!

ElAurens · 05-10-07, 10:08 PM

Pantera, I am doing a lifeguard mission now as well. Have picked up 3 pilots, or whatever they are, so far. Been on station off Guam in May 1944 for 2 days now chasing little blue squares all over the map.

The most collosal waste of time I've ever experienced in my years of gaming. It looks like the map icons (blue squares) are being sprinkled on with a salt shaker, chase down dozens of contacts and find nothing.

Why is the Captain the only member of the watch crew that can spot survivors? Why have a watch crew at all?

Sorry, but this is just unacceptable.

It amazes me how many people complain about the AI spotting stuff then they think only the user should.
Can't win.

I have found Solution just dive to periscop Depth and speed is 1/3 just folo the signal and the Crew see them in several meters but is no graphics of down pilots.
Just wen you look Binoculars you have red cross and ju can pick up him but you still can't finish the mission

You got that right.

My last mission I got up to 10 before that *@$%&+ Icon turned gray!
