Most often asked Questions (& Answers) for DW (Tactical)?

OneShot · 06-04-07, 10:10 AM

Most of you should know by now that there is a Wiki for DW (which is slowly growing) and can be found here : http://www.commanders-academy.com/wi..._Waters_-_Wiki

Now in one of the posts ML mentioned that the tactical question posted by a newbie is one that has been asked over and over and that he (ML) should get it included in the FAQ. Now those who have taken a look at the Wiki should have noticed the link to the "Tactical FAQ" which as of now is empty. However I want to change that, and I'm looking for help from the community.

So what do I have in mind - specifically?

Please post one or more questions you think are so basic and are asked so often that they should be included in a FAQ. Preferably add your answer to this question as well. Others may add additional points to that answer or simply post their own questions/answers. I'll monitor this thread and put the questions and answers in the wiki (formatted and merged where needed) so that in the future we can direct the people who have asked a question thats in the FAQ either to the FAQ itself or simply copy & paste the information therein to the relevant thread here. Of course credit will be given in the wiki to those who came up with the questions and answers.

If by chance, anybody wants to add directly to the FAQ or edit stuff in the Wiki, feel free - thats what its for.

Link to the Tactical FAQ : http://www.commanders-academy.com/wi...e=Tactical_FAQ

Thanks in advance for your help people.

Cheers
OS

P.S. : Please post only Tactical Stuff here, General questions like "Why does SCS not allow modders to make new playables?" and technical stuff are already part of the relevant FAQs.

C'mon, that ridiculous ... 69+ Views and not a single reply with even one Q&A? How hard can it be to do something most of the regular hands in this here community do on a near regular basis? Apparently its easier to write the same stuff over and over ... this is quite dissapointing.

Maybe it needs a little help ... so how bout this ? "The TMA is so hard, what do I have to do to get a good TMA solution?" Or "I'm shooting all my torps at my target but none of them hits ... when I turn on truth I see that the target is in a totally different patch of ocean - this game must be totally broken (or I'm too dumb)?" Those are just two examples ... and there are many more out there.

+1 view. :p

Honestly, I haven't asked any of these questions in years and years. Up to the new guys, I guess.:hmm:

The newbies dont know the answers ... they are looking for them. Its not the point to simply collect the questions ... whats needed are the questions together with the apropriate answers and thats something the "old hands" could do, after all they answer the same questions over and over again on this here board. So they should be familiar with the most often asked questions and they have proven they have the answers ...

If anyone is up to it, I think one video of someone showing exactly what they do from start to finish when it comes to sinking an ememy sub or something would be golden.

I added classification for submarines to the tactical section. It might be better placed in the other FAQ, though, but if we want it there we'd need a general submarine section (right now all the sections are individuated).

'eyy.. i've heard someone is calling my name.. yep "newbie" i am at dw.. and i'd die for a tactical FAQ so thanx in advance all and especially oneshot..
a video as Camaero described would be also great however i am not sure if it will be covering all the tactics which can be employed in dw..

anyway, as a contribution i may ask something which i'm not also sure for being suitable on listing at tactical FAQ but was considering to ask today anyway so..

* i've seen some explanations of how crazy ivan tactic is being carried out. but could not find the aim of it (what good for is turnin' 360' with shouting out that you're there, if i may say)
