Docking and Ending Missions

[Redbear]

I always go back to the same pen and dock (navigate into the pen and come to a complete stop), let the nurses throw a few roses my way, and then end the patrol. I am now being transferred to Brest, so I will want to try a sub pen when I get there.

I used to sometimes hit escape when I was in range of the ports earlier, but with the great harbour traffic mod it's an extra 'carrot' to go all the way in to port to see all the traffic.

[Iku-turso]

I allways dock to the pen,astern of course.

[SmokinTep]

I always like to dock. I figure if I am 30km from there anyways, I might as well bring her in the rest of the way. At night, I will launch a couple of star shells to let them know to get the beer ready.

Hi,

I also dock the u-boat, but always in any pen or dock OTHER than the one i started from (stern first of course!). This is to miss the bug - that when returning from a mission in campaign mode, if you get too close to the starting point of a mission (dock)... you will not recieve any credit for anything you accomplished and you will not be awarded any points.

See Community manual for above:

I have personally never encountered this problem, even though I have often docked back where I started from.

[U-104]

bug?

[Nopileo]

I've never experienced this either, but once recently it said '0 renown' in the patrol summary. However, the renown had correctly been added to my total renown in the 'office', enabling me to use it on crew/equipment etc.

Hi,

I have never encountered before i read the Community manual -

but i'd read in other threads people complaining that they weren't getting recognised for tonnage on certain missions, so i thought "better to be safe than sorry" and it sounded like a find/fix because it had been included in the WIKI.

If they added every thing each of us would like to see, the game still wouldn't be released yet.

Would that make you happier?

Oh, I also always take her all the way to the pier.

I had to stop this since I'm currently stationed at Kiel.
It's one thing to have to sail all the way 'round Denmark, but then I get stuck in a "1x TC only" zone on the way into Keil (due to the proximity of land).
Oddly, it doesn't seem to be a problem on the way out.

There an easy solution. Download this:

Then use tweeksh3.exe to change "Land Proximity" to 64 or higher.

I'll have to look at that, thanks.
But, I should say, the land proximity thing has saved my life. There is a small island to the northwest of Scotland that doesn't show up on the map when zoomed out, and I would've crashed into it if I hadn't investigated whey the TC suddenly dropped.

I agree with Sailor Steve that if all our wishes were fullfilled the game would not have been released yet.
But it sure was a nice welcome home after a long and testing patrol, that Aces of the Deep offered us...

Anyway, the game is released and all our wishes were not fullfilled.

So...................... none of the above.

I dock there too, but my band is always playing G. F. Händel.
