Polish Task force(Where??)

[Polak2]

Perhaps watch Empty Cup #2 video to find the answer. There is another
Kriegsmarine surface unit in that area, which promptly sends polish task force to the bottom if you do not hurry.

Thank you for great SH5 video series to Empty Cup .

Xsilentxxx!after a veeeery long silent run!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I spent another 5 hours trying to find this stupid convoy/task force. Nothing!

I watched the tea cup's videos but that doesn't really explain where to find the convoy. I am not sure how this is spawned in the game. Maybe it's my skills. They are more rusty than Mr. Tea Cup's submarine!

Anyways, I gave up on the task force. But I am getting really frustrated with this game and beginning to remember why I stopped playing this several times. I keep getting caught by these two destroyers who chases me for hours!

I get no F'n air support like tea cup. Crew on my ship says "Captain, task force spotted" I am like where???. But I say, whatever.... who cares let me continue on. The crew is like, should we report it capitan? I and I say yes! let's send a report. So I tell me radio guy and he tells me there's nothing to report. In fact watch officer tells me several times to report contacts, but the radio guy says nothing to report. Maybe he is in another dimension.

What am I doing wrong?

Take a course out of Memel harbor entrance of 243 degrees at Flank speed should get you to a point where your watch crew will inform you of the Polish task force.

 

The 2 ships patrol in a diagonal line in front of the X mark and my course line.
When war breaks out they can be bombed and then are may also be fired on from the German task force so you need to be in the area to be able to have a chance at attacking them.

Thank you so much! I will try this out tonight.

Hi I'm new to SH5 too and tried to catch the polish Taskforce yesterday.
well.. it's 2 destroyers so no easy task.. luckily they go slow when patrolling.

too bad the Luftwaffe attacks them permanently and killed one of them which means they go full speed... full speed away from my boat.
I managed to get into torpedo range once(long range shot about 5km).. but torpedo was spotted and evaded.
destroyer doesn't even bother to try to find me.. it's running away and I'll guess I have to spend some hours again to get into firing range.
report contact does not work either.
last time I tried this campaign (but missions did not show up on briefing screen so started over) the mission was successful after a German dd from the close by German Taskforce rushed in and killed em both.
