Has anyone seen wolfpacks in action?

I haven't seen any myself. Anyone?

I know that people have met them at sea....and they will engange enemies if they are close....so it can happen!

They exist but they completely miss their shots.

It might have something to do with their firing at 20 meters deep with the periscope down...

or AI-torpedoes not working? did they not sink right away?

mikaelanderlund · 04-23-10, 11:55 AM

I am guessing that they will respond to radio contact reports if they are within range, but I have not seeing this yet.

I took on a convoy in a Historic mode and some of the ships near the back of the convoy as they approached were on fire , so I suppose they had just been attacked ?

I gave up on the wolf pack mission in the campaign, the couple of wolfpacks sailing around were just following waypoints and not heading to any nearby reported contacts nor responding when I reported any, kind of useless!

Air dropped torpedoes float in the water just like bricks don't, but AI Sub fired torpedoes are fine.

When I was in black pit campaign - triumph of wolfpack mission, during sailing with blinking wolfpack, HX or HXF convoi appeared. Subs started act like fools, some of them retreating underwater, some of them surfaced and exchanging fire with enemies. But some of them fired salvos and damaged some transports. (stock game, no mods)

To have them act less foolish you´ve got to install IRAI

To be quite honoust i,ve never seen them in action. I,ve seen some blue sub icons on map but there allways to far away from my current combat zone. When i usually find a convoy first thing i do is send a contact report and stalk the convoy for days and nights till i dont have a single torpedo left . All i can tell you that even stalking convoys for days on end there never was a single other u-boat to join the fight, let alone a whole wolfpack.

I just attacked a large convoy of the East coast of England (North Sea). Called it in with a "contact report" and started tracking them until night fell. Sunk 4 ships when I realised that there were a few others that I hadnt hit that were sinking. I was just about to fire another salvo when I saw two airplanes come into view in my scope - they were German and attacked the convoy! Not sure if there was another sub about but very exciting nonetheless. Then my game crashed to desktop...needless to say, once it loaded up again nothing happened as per usual.
