I have so much trouble going down the hatch I now stay in the conning tower on the attack scope. that way I can suface at night and dive in the day with out running all over the place. i keep watch with the attack scope.narrow view though.but i don't get myself caught on the suface.It'l have to do until i get better or a mod comes along.[i do practice in safe waters]

Hi!

First of all: Cool forum! Helped me very much, but I still have one problem. I'm playing one of the first missions, the block of Germany (or similiar name, you know what I mean I guess) and I have a problem:

As soon as I reach the patrol place my fuel is somewhere around 50%, this means I can't do **** when I'm there since I have to get back to base and since the resupply is denied all the time (Not suprised that the germans lost the war, they are treating their sub captains like ****! Or, they were).

Anyway, is there any way to get passed this? Without playing with unlimited diesel (that's just boooring. )

Thanks again for a cool forum!

Im sure you know that going at half speed and under conserves more fuel? and you will ALWAYS be denied resupply until operation drumbeat, which is WAY WAY far ahead of blockade of germany. Plus ts trans atlantic, and you can only resupply at certain times. any blue base can resupply you on fuel.

No, I didn't know that but I always go full speed anyway. :-D

Oh? I thought you could only dock at the base marked with a ship? Gonna try that asap!

This game is awesome

One more question:

At the mission "Blockade of Germany" you are told to sink 5 AMC ships.

What is AMC ships, how do I find them?

When I try to find enemies I just patrol around wasting lots of fuel, this isn't the "right" way to achieve this, right?

EDIT1:
After reading: http://silent-hunter.uk.ubi.com/sile...5/campaign.php

Is "total germany" the only campaign availble?


EDIT2: Found what AMC stands for and where to find them.
Still need help with the other things thought!

Start in any campaign .

I am stuck with the first campaign mission, where one is to sink 50,000 tonns of British merchant traffic by Eastern British coast. I successfully completed the task to "patrol assigned area" (displays as green, so I assume it's completed), then I was lucky to find an unguarded convoy of 10 merchants going North just East of the thick red line on my map. During one night attack I sank 8 of them (realism seems to be an issue in SH5 for me...) for 56k tonns, used all my ammo and headed back to Kiel. Docked. Now it doesn't seem the game recognized completing the mission of sinking 50k tonnage. On the task map I can't request to do this mission again (I can only request the 100k tonns one), but when I ask the commander to send me to a patrol, he asks if I want to go to a "random patrol" without assigned tasks.

What do I do to accomplish the 50k tonnage mission?
