Regarding the bases, I have no clue about where and when you will have the bases .. this part was covered by Trevally and its a surprise even for me. Bremen sounds a bit weird but Trevally can give you a better answer on this matter.

14 knts for a typ A or B is way to much at half speed. Maybe you tweaked your crew and added points to the engineer, thats a cheat. Maybe he pour vodka in the engines to get that speed...

Hehe thanks, Nostradamus' prediction sounds about right I think that save has corrupted (doing some odd gfx things) so I may have to ditch it anyway, but good to know the OHII part is working ok. ... and I play on as high realism as I'm capable of for now, which is 57% no manual targeting - I will move to harder but want to learn the game first. Anyway if you guys are playing heavy realism it'd probably be a good thing for me to test it at slightly lower realism as not everyone who tries OHII will play the very hardcore style - at least this way all your bases are covered

Will await word from Trevally re the bases but I did test 'Happy Times' as a stock campaign and started at Bremen as well, so I'm guessing it is meant to be that way, despite the briefing saying you'll be based in Lorient. I took a boat to check it out on the first patrol and saw German fighters bombing French shipping a few miles West of the Lorient Harbour, and Brit destroyers guarding the harbour itself, so maybe you start out at Bremen and then move to Lorient once it 'falls'.

I did think 14 knots at half speed was quite an upgrade... what sub was that then, if not 7a,b or c? I assume the 7a is the starter sub from the first campaign... maybe I was given a more powerful boat than I was meant to. I definitely hadn't used any speed upgrades on the crew, just battery recharge and quieter running. If it's not a stock boat maybe a mod has altered it somehow?

Might be worth keeping an eye on when/if others get their new boats if it's possible to jump the upgrade queue (and timeline?) like that. Is there any way to tell what sub you're in? The fast one had two external torps (one front one rear) just like the 7c, and the second conning tower upgrade for it added an extra AA gun in a second, separate wintergarden behind the first.. dunno if my poor description helps!

Cheers again for all the help mate


UPDATE: by June 26 1940 all of France is blue and Lorient is captured. Brest and a few others along the Northern Coast went first, then the rest a while later (not sure how long tbh). Theory confirmed

And another minor bug - during Happy Times, my uboat is designated U-69 (in my captain's log messages from BDU), but the blue radio messages asking me to report in are still addressed to U-21
