TWoS questions

[LCQ_SH]

Thnx for the clarifications.

Another one,

I just lost the deadline of the "breaking the fortress" (or however it is called), didn't know until later that I could change the bunker date of departure haha. So I went there, killed the BB and got out (however the mission is not activated). I am not planning it to do it again, it was a long mission.

Does it matter or will it affect somehow if I finish this campaign with one incomplete mission? o.O

Thanks!

Hi LCQ_SH

I encountered so many lonely ships or by groups of two, that I had to go back to port without being able to patrol de 48? It looked like a shooting arcade here

The patrol time will not start until you receive a radio message or when you enter the grid.

The mission does not activate as it usually appears as you are crossing the North Sea.

There is no advantage in doing BTF as the DD's are quite dormant and the travelling time is also quite long.
You are better off spending more time on BCW that you have requested and you will eventually get 3 patrol grids on this patrol before completing that objective which is worth 3 crew bonus points.
On the 21st September North Western Approaches (NWA) will appear on the map so there are some much heavier targets in it.
You can request either of these 2 as many times as you need.

Why do you think that you will not complete the mission?

So I went there, killed the BB.

You completed the mission even though you did not request it.

Hi Peter,

Oops, well, at the end I got the tonnage of the BB haha.

My question was basically if I will be able to continue a normal carrier without officially completing (not having the check mark) the breaking the fortress mission. But as you are suggesting to ignore it, then I am thinking it doesn't matter hehe.

Do you play your game with 100% realistic settings with Real Nav on board and without external views and auto target recognition cheat?


60m/s wind?! That's not enabled in WoS...

I am playing with 90% (I enjoy the views and just seen my tin can all the time will too boring, (I'm a gamer not a real sub captain xD) but I am not using the external views for hunting down ships), plus real nav and 100% manual targeting. I think I got lucky then, but as it was my very first patrol, since a very long time of not playing, I sank less than than half of all of those ships, but they seemed quite a lot for encountering them on the same perimeter in less than 24h.

Now I am in another grid and I was not so lucky though haha.

The 60 m/s wind is because of TWD patch, I think I will disable it.

The point is, you can not judge game difficulty as long as you use any of the "helping wheels" provided within the game.
Don't forget that there is no simulation that can simulate "fear" so even with hardcore settings, the game may still look quite easy for experienced sub simmers.

Chill out bud, I was not judging anything.

I was jut pointing out any skipper's wet dream of finding more than 7-8 ships in less than 24h in a perimeter no bigger than 80 km. It seemed to me a little bit unusual. Nothing to do with game difficulty.

in WWII there was U-boat captains who never saw a enemy ship in they patrols the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic ocean is really big so u have damn high chance to pass any enemy ship especially when is bad weather or fog

[LCQ_SH]

does anybody has the mod/link for changing the hud style? The more compact one that has basically all of the engine and depth gauges at the left?

And does anybody know if it is possible to have two chronometers or to time two different torps at the same time? xD

Tnx
