Having EXTREME trouble with the torpedo academy mission - Page 2

Naga · 04-10-09, 02:57 PM

Okay. Thanks for letting me know those hotkeys. Still, I can't get the game to recognize I completed all my objectives. Here's what happens:

1. I sink 3 small transports plus the large one.
2. The message "All Primary Objectives Completed!" appears in the console at the bottom center of the screen.
3. I go to my radio man and click "Send Patrol Report" and "Send Contact Report" for good measure.
4. I surface the ship and drive around on the surface for about five realtime minutes.
5. I hit escape, click "Yes," then "Return to Base."

Then, next to the "Torpedo" academy section, it still says "no exam yet."

Any solution? Does completing these academy missions actually do anything for me in the main game, or is it strictly training that I can skip, since it seems to not be working?

EDIT: The submarine, crew, and torpedoes are all okay. I'm just looking for something to take my anger out on. Staying up until 3 A.M. trying to complete this mission, then having to get up for a school exam, isn't something I like to do. : )

You may want to check out this link: http://alexbret.perso.cegetel.net/index4875.php (hopefully it works). Although some of the information is outdated most of it is still useful.

And welcome aboard btw...

To make the academy mission succeed and count you need to tell the game you want to do the exam. If not it thinks you want to just train it. It's on the screen before the mission is loaded. Choose exam instead of training. Then press start.

[Edit] Succeeding the academy missions as exams should give you a bit of starting renown during the campaign. (1500 iirc, but that may depend on what mods you have) Not that you can do much with it as you begin since any modification to the uboat or crew before the first patrol can get you to loose the renown you earn during the patrol. (stock bug) But before the 2nd patrol you can use it to recruite more experienced crew or other upgrades.

Just a guess here. Make sure you're playing the mission as an exam, and not as training.

What pisces said. I type too slow. ...

Yep, I just figured that out myself. I'm now a full fledged U-boat commander! Thanks!

You will recieve a renown bonus when you start your career as Pisces mentioned. If you are using GWX, any upgrades made to your U-boat except your U-boat emblem before you complete your first patrol sometimes can cause the game not recognizing the ships renown you earned during your patrol.
