Blockade of Germany

[WolfgangKurtz]

area I have managed to sink 2 Carriers both around the plymouth area
my problem is the 5 ships I have sunk 3 along the red line (Northern Patrol) but have not been credited with any ships it then sent me to just off Iceland where i sunk another ship still no credit they show on my stats on the Captains page but not on the Blockade pop up
Anyone completed this part and have a suggestion it would be appreciated as i am running out of time to get this one done It ends 1st March and i am at Jan 15 already

They have to be warships from what i understand. You're trying to damage a blockade afterall.

I ALMOST completed this. I got the carrier and sunk 4 armed troop transports (which counted), but couldn't find another warship to sink in time. None of the unarmed merchants i sank in the area counted towards the goal.

The 5 ships you have to sink are 5 auxiliary cruisers. Only those count.

I just checked the museum and you are correct. The ships i sunk must have been the Auxilliary Armed Merchant Cruisers.

They apparently use the same picture in the rec. manual. Must be the same ship, but one has guns.

Thanks now all i need to do is find these guys

[Jander]

look for them at the east end of the red arrow, north of england - I found two or three of them there.

The auxillary cruisers are the ones that look like merchants but have a built on deck structure towards the back I'm guessing? Come up as warship contacts on the sonar as well?

I've been sinking those primarily and am about 2/5th's of the way done. It's January, 2 months left but it's a pain trying to find them sometimes lol. Still no luck on the Carrier either. Even infiltrated Scappa Flow and Portland harbors with no luck finding her

Hello there, I got all the Auxiliary Cruisers in Scapa Flow over two patrols, first (around mid november 1939) there were three idling there at night along two battle cruisers (the Queen Elizabeth and -probably- the Nelson), I have to sunk two destroyers patrolling on the left Scapa Flow entrance, then both 31000 tons battle cruisers [was epic ] then put my remaining torpedoes and deck guns to sunk two among the three AC, seriously damaging the third one. Then on my second patrol I found no less than five AC idling there again at night (around mid-december 1939) along two destroyers and a few merchants, destroyed most of them while keeping four torpedoes, which were put to good use few times later to destruct another Battleship (the Queen Elizabeth again! wtf?!?). Now i have two months left to find that carrier.

The troop transports were pretty easy, just crept around scapa flow, nailed 3 of them, went to refit came back and there was 2 more. The carrier was a bit more interesting, I sailed alllll over the place but kept checking back to see if it was moored in plymouth harbour, I did this 5 or 6 times until finally it was there. I spent a ton of time setting up a nice 4 torpedo spread and BOOOOOM, sank the ark royal right there. I started heading out of the port with the burning wreck of the first one behind me, looked up on the nav map to make sure it counted and NOPE, didn't count, I was really pissed, but it does say you need to sink one PATROLLING. About 500 metres from the mouth of the harbor, there's another ark royal LOL steaming in with it's whole escort group doing 1 knot, nailed it with my last 4 torps and got it that way.

It is January 22, 1940...I have sunk all AMC ships and credited with sinking 100,000 tons of supplies. I just need to find and sink that darn carrier. Anybody have any ideas? Just trolling.

She is set to spawn in Plymouth then patrol the area marked on the map. So you may wanna check time by time if she is not n port.. its nuff to click on the port name and if she is there, it will shown the her name next to the port name.

I completed Total Germany on Feb. 1, 1940. Problem is...I went back to port, ended patrol, and the officer showed me the same orders for Total Germany. I have all of the crosses filled in with the exception of the last one. Will this be filled in when I recieve my new orders and how do I recieve them?

[Zedi]

The next mission will be available at 01.03.1940. Until then, go out and patrol &have fun.

[Tempest]

Many thanks Zedi for the information on the carrier. Went to Plymouth looking for the Ark Royal. I found her docked, but lo and behold a Glorius class carrier was coming in. Three shots at varied depths did her in. As an afterthought...do I just go back for a re-fit at said date?

I decided to try sneaking into Plymouth and having a pop at the Ark Royal. When I was sneaking back out again though, I would get so far, and then the program crashed. I tried this several times, on different days, but it always crashed - strange because it hasn't crashed before. I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience. On the plus side, while I was sitting in the Channel gnashing my teeth, along came HMS Eagle...
