Ive completed the mission before doing the simple patrol, so i did it backwards now it doesnt know where to send me, just keeps saying to patrol specified area, but like i said ive already completed that, and the "blockade of Germany" missions..so I have to wait until March 1st 1940 to begin "operation wesurbung" or however its spelt.. Another typical UBI bug...why didnt they specify that in the first place! how are we supposed to know the exact order to d othe missions, what a load of crap! |

Compass: Lower right corner of the speed selection there is a tiny button looks like two arrows chasing each other in a circle, click that and it brings out a heading readout. upper right corner of of your speed indicator you will see your return to course button. Depth sounding: Below the crash dive selection on the stock UI is a goofy looking button, thats your depth under keel button. Additionally you can select "advanced controls" to manually select depth in meters and speed by knots. toggle button for this is under the return to course button its nice as i dont have to shift key anything, all i need is one click away. Still haven't found a gramaphone yet, or any commands for the hydrophone operator yet, but still blindly fumbling through the stock ui (not gonna worry bout mods just yet till i see what all ubi is gonna bring to the table first) |

In The blockade of Germany part of the Total Germany campaign. The objective state sink 5 AMC along the northern patrol line.
I cant for the life of me work out what AMC stands for. Can anyone enlighten me?

And I can only assume since the only ship I've sunk up here that counted was an "Armed Merchant" that AMC must be "Armed merchant Class". But I've only found one so far, and I've been up here for uhhh, well I've forgot how long but it's been quite a long time probably two weeks or more. I keep finding merchants but not these armed ones. BDU has repostioned me twice now, but the second time it didn't indicate a new location and says objective complete even though the white bar on the mission description box isn't full but only about 1/4 for the 5 ship portion. Nothing for the carrier as I have yet to go down there where it's supposed to be. Still trying to finish up in the north.

The "5 ships" to sink spawn in Loch Ewe harbor, south of the middle island there.

Blockade of Germany End
If the two Iron Cross's are filled in you are finished with the mission. BDU gets confused sometimes

The aircraft carrier I got in the English Channel, south of Plymouth. I'd killed one just south of Loch Ewe and it didn't count. I killed another one docked in Plymouth and it didn't count. I finally caught one traveling through the Channel and that one did count. |

Ship Recognition
The recognition plate system is pretty good. However, there are occasions, as there probably were in real life when you are not certain of the exact ship, but are certain of its nationality. I encountered a task force in happy times including two battleships. It was night, poor visibility. I also couldn't get into a good AOB position and ended firing one torp from 15 degree astern at the second battleship, which exploded and registered immediately sunk. Bit lucky. I couldn't identify the ship, which looked like the Queen Elizabeth, but I am certain I sank that in Scapa Flow much earlier in the game. In real life news sources and general intel sources would have provided confirmation of a sinking maybe weeks or even months later. Is there any way to check within the game or save-game logs to see what you actually sank?

M-Theory,
" Is there any way to check within the game or save-game logs to see what you actually sank?" Yes there is, the "Hat Icon" on the right side of the screen brings up the log, just click on the ship sunk entry and it will tell you what you sank and its tonnage. You can sink a ship more than once, I sank the Ark Royal twice last game, once on regulart patrol and once after replenishment. |
