Operation Weserübung help

The way I did it was just to sit at the NE corner of the patrol route in the deep part of the channel. Battleship group sailed right into me as I sat waiting for it.

At what date? I'm completely stuck on this, is the 3th day I try to complete it.

Got up there Probably April 2nd.

Magnum. Try to load your latest "arrival on base" save to restart the mission. I had to load that save myself as I found myself cruising around and finding do contacts anymore in the mid april. With the second try I completed that mission in about 2 hrs real time and before April 2nd.

I did that, so I arrived at the entrance to Narvik channel at March 24. Camped the place till April 12 and nothing. On April 2 passed a weird convoy, one old steamer with 6 escort ship and the immortal convoy that always will arrive there on April 12 heading Narvik. Did this around 8 times so far, camping the whole area starting March 24 until April 10 and no battleship.

Im really speechless and hopeless. I had a look in mission config files, but I cant figure out a path/route for any battleship counting for this mission.

I really dont know what else to do, this mission it not works at me

Is just hard for me to understand how come all of you got ur battleship on first try and the only problems was on taking the photo or sinking the 5 merchants.. is like we play different games

Later edit: right after I posted I found a topic on marinesims.de where is stated that the battleship can be found at the end of the red arrow that draw the brit task force route. And there it was, found it on March 31 right at that spot. Finally total germany campaign is complete now, took me 3 days to do this weserubung mission. Hope this info will help others in the future.

Thanks for posting the solution Magnum.... too many new forums members pop in here, ask questions, then never post the solution they found.

A valued memeber of this forum you will be with that attitude mate

I just finnished it. I found the warship at the end of the Blue arrow at 31March

I sunk the battleship on April 1st 1940 she was on the same route which the merchants take, she was a QE class, probably meant to be Warspite as that is historically accurate, but Warspite wasn't actually sunk so the game is a bit weird when it omes to accuracy

the most difficult thing was finding the ships to sink luckily the BB seems to count as 1 but apart from that there are hardly any merchants and destroyers are quite hard to hit as they are usually in groups

now I am onto 'Happy Times'

Nobody though of compiling a list of scripted convoys, targets, etc that do count towards reaching a certain objective?

Reading these threads, I think most of the time the "important" targets are not always where they are supposed to be

loerelau · 03-28-10, 04:54 AM

Hi,

I have kind of the same problem. Found and sunk the battleship, it was more that it found me when I was on my way to Narvik...

Stayed in front of the port of Narvik for 2 weeks, but nothing happened. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Loerelau

Zedi · 03-28-10, 07:14 AM

Make sure you arrive at Narvik before April 9. After that it will be really hard to find any enemy ship to take the photo. If got already this part and you need only the 5 merchant ship, is enough to stay at the entrance to the Narvik channel, where it gets a bit narrow.. stay submerged and track with the sonar, you will find a lot of merchants passing that area. But also, make sure all this happens before April 9.

Can't explain how come only me had so hard time to find the damn battleship.. the rest of the mission was so easy, done it in 1 day

loerelau · 03-28-10, 07:48 AM

Thanks. Just passed it without taking a picture

. and got a CTD, didn't check if the savegame is still there..

Packlife · 06-23-13, 09:41 AM

I thought this was 1 of the easiest missions so far. You can find an sink the 5 ships an the Battleship in the Narvik area, i would set a shoe string search pattern up an down the route that leads to the Narvik Port. Its pretty much a bottle neck so all incoming merchants an War ships have to get past you once i had sunk the 4th ship then the Battleship surrounded by destroyers would show up 2 torpedos later she's resting easy at the bottom
