Having problems with "Blockade of Germany?"

Viper114 · 03-10-10, 10:11 AM

I managed to come across two troop transport ships in the Northern patrol line. I hit one with three torpedoes and sunk it. All I had left was the one in my aft section, so I did a quick turn-around and fired it at the second boat. It hit the stern of the ship, and then it start sinking bottom first. I was ECSTATIC. After that, went and resupplied, then went back for more.

Still difficult in finding anything, those two troop transports were basically a God send and I can't keep relying on God...

In case people aren't yet, make sure you submerge for a bit every now and then. Hydrophones easily outrange visual detection, even under the best of conditions.

Personally I use a 6-hour cycle; submerge for 2 hours at dead slow ahead, then run on the surface for 4 hours at ahead standard, etc

Hmmm, I never thought of doing it that way. I may adopt such a standard for my game...

I found the carrier just south of Plymouth. It is being escorted by assorted warships. In a formation much like this......

It was just spread out a lot more.
