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

[Zedi]

Thank you. If needed, I can post a screenshot with the exact location, but I'm not sure if will not be considered as cheating, so I skip this part for now

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

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

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]

Thanks. Just passed it without taking a picture . and got a CTD, didn't check if the savegame is still there..

The allied withdrawal from Northern Norway didn't take place untill June 8th. Then mainly from Harstad. Around that time there ought be some activity in the Narvik area, too. If SH5 is working according to RL you should find a lot of traffic in Vaagsfjord untill that time.

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

It would have been nice to have been able to finish the patrol rather than just getting this screen and then starting back at base for the new phase:

Feburary, 23, 1940:
I am sitting at the choke point to Narvik. I have completed everything else so far. I found the Carrier by chance as I was making my Key Bindings MOD. When I restarted the game for my key bindings to take effect the Task Force was Bearing 0 at 12k m heading straight at me.
I have sunk the Queen Elizabeth (AKA: Queen Pheonix) 3 times on previous patrols and once during this patrol but have not completed the Operation Weserübung as yet.
I have 6 Torpedo's remaining, Deck Gun ammo 100%.
To date: I have never recieved any mission update telling me to sink any Battleship. The Total Germany campaing has one cross left to fill so I am assuming that this Battleship is that last cross.
How long until I should expect this Queen Pheonix to rises from the sea again?
