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

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

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
