Ah, thank you.

One other thing I'm wondering about: where should the manos patch for my resolution go? Before or after NewUI? It's a part of Magnum opus mod but I guess it should overwrite New UI...

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-11-11, 02:44 PM

So far no answer from TDW, but I have another question.

The uboat you start the campaign with is the VIIB, isnt it?

I mean, I've clicked and opened all the logs and charts and etc I could find to discover what boat I'm using while in patrol (sh3 would give me the uboat number and type when in the crew management screen), but I didn't find any info on the uboat type, only the number, U-21. Searching the net I found U-21 to be a IIB type, and I'm pretty sure I'm not using a IIB in game.

Reason I'm asking is, I modified some files in the VIIB gr2 file and nothing happened in game. I checked twice to make sure I modified the right file, and yet in game I saw no difference.

Pretty sure my campaign started with a VIIA, flak gun down on the deck
behind the bridge. Only 11 torpedoes also. I'm usually very tired when I
play this, so thats what I think I saw.

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-12-11, 11:47 AM

How's that possible if the basic.cfg file holds info on VIIB but nothing on the VIIA?

It's using the B config? Makes no sense.

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-12-11, 01:50 PM

Ok, finished my first patrol.

Got lucky, found a very juicy convoy on the western approaches and took down the destroyers and the biggest ships with torpedoes, and the rest with the deckgun. Precise shots below the water level are very effective in SH5, I found that 5 shots with the deckgun below waterline is enough to sink most merchants (HE shells) and shots in the engine/cargo compartment with the AP shell, with the merchant standing at 45 aob.

Used every shell and torpedo I had, went back to Kiel, got myself the trouble of going all the way inside the den, exactly the same place I left, park with stern first and all, clicked "Dock at Kiel", clicked "end patrol", and got back to the same place I was in the beginning of the patrol, walking in the bunker, being able to talk to a bunch of fellows. Neither of them finished my mission, so I just hit esc and choose exit to main menu.

Then I got this screen:

What am I missing? How can I finish the patrol?

The mission was a success, I needed 70k tons and I got over 200k.

I do NOT understand!

Says "Mission Failed - User exit".

I saved before I hit esc, just in case. Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong? Where's my "captain's room", the place where I can check my boat, my crew, give and receive medals, distribute attribute and skill points for my men... where where?

Halface · 10-12-11, 01:56 PM

what mods are you running ?

and to add think you start with the VIIA sub...it kinda has the torp aft on the outside i belive

you reload and check your boat at the guy next to the captain that gives you the orders or the map where you can choose orders...cant remeber excactly since iam not playing stock sh5 iam running OHII

kylania · 10-12-11, 02:02 PM

Were you on a mission for the Western Approaches? Because the first mission is generally the 50,000/70,000 on the Eastern side, so sinking ships on the west isn't going to count towards anything really.

Awards and stuff can be done at anytime now from the Crew Page. There's no Captain's Office anymore. You basically just hand out promotion points to increase abilities and give little Iron Cross awards that seem to do nothing.

THE_MASK · 10-12-11, 02:08 PM

This

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-12-11, 02:17 PM

Sorry, my bad, I said western, I meant eastern approaches.

The convoy I attacked was not in the mission patrol grid, but it was in the eastern side of England, between the patrol grid and Scapa Flow.

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-12-11, 02:23 PM

SON OF A GUN!

If I sank that much and counted for nothing, I'll be pretty upset.

kylania · 10-12-11, 02:25 PM

That probably should have counted. You'll need to sink one ship near the yellow patrol area to get credit for that, but the thing that sober posted should have filled up if you basically sunk them anywhere along the east coast there.

I've unfortunately not completed this first mission in my 7 campaign restarts since starting again last week, so can't remember exactly how to finish that mission. Maybe it's date locked? Like the next one can't start till X date so it won't let you finish the first one?

Left over folders from SH3 are not used in SH5

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-12-11, 04:43 PM

Whats this? Ghost ship?

I keep finding these in the middle of convoys, using OH2. Flag frozen.

Got myself a nice small convoy, no escort, total around 40k tons, sank them all with the deckgun, send report to base afterward, but nothing shows in the progress of the mission? Is it cos it's out of the zone?

Saved and exited after sinking all the convoy, total of 8 ships, and the screen is showing over 20 ships and 180k tons? What the hell is going on in my game? That convoy was the first thing sighted in the whole patrol!
