End of the game?

Gabbiani · 04-14-16, 04:13 PM

Hi, I'm new at the forum and at the game.
After reading some tutorials and practicing at the naval academy I left Kiel to my first patrol.
It turned to be a lucky one since I spoted an unguarded convoy.

Well, after few more patrols I noticed the dates were moving , so the question is?
The game is getting harder with more guarded convoys?
Do I have to change tactics?
the game ends in 1945?

thanks

The game ends when the war ends. As for enemy ASW activity as the war progresses, as in real life, you have every reason to be paranoid about the enemy's AWS capabilities. Think of the first 2 years or so as graduation before the real deal. Spend them well and learn as many tricks as you can in dodging destroyers, planes and mean spirited hocus pocus from the wiz departements of the UK and US.

The game will let you sail around till the end of May 1945 IIRC. Not too many of us have made it that far though.

thanks for the welcome guys and your advices
I've reading the foums and that helped me a lot too.

sorry if I come up with a storm of questions but yesterday I finish my second patrol and I noticed you can end it in the middle of the atlantic without going back to base...
isn't is like cheating? shouldnt you finish at a friendly dock?

The end of the war brought about new ASW tech. Hedgehogs, by far, were the worst thing a sub could encounter. Then radar became more developed, and when that happened, U-boot snorkels were getting detected in the middle of the Atlantic!!

It was near impossible to stay surfaced.

The planes started attaching spotlights so they could hunt at night!

List goes on and on!

Due to the realism of SH3, we are fighting a losing battle. You will not win!
