AN51 at that time (post-1940) is a pretty tough place to patrol.
typical depth for that area is 8 meters which means that you are at risk either on the surface or at PD.
if it was me and my boat, i would either penetrate the minefield by going deep and patrolling between the coast and the mine field or sit east of the minefield and ignore the objective and sink as many ships as i could.

I was at periscope depth when I hit and the depth was 100 meters approximately.

ok, then you have a small margin within which to work. as i indicated in my previous post, i would either penetrate the minefield by going deep and patrolling between the coast and the mine field or sit east of the minefield and ignore the objective and sink as many ships as i could.

Now I'm based on Kiel and on my 9th patrol on 11 July 1940 I was assigned to a recon mission to the port of Perth-Fremantle in western Australia. How it could be logical? It sounds ridiculous. And what about the fuel? I'm on a type IIb boat.
Another weird issue is that the mission objectives for that patrol are written in French.

you have found a hole in the logic. have to look at the recent history in this forum for the "fix".
if i get the time i will look but you should too.

the french-orders-thing you either have to live with or go and edit/translate the files yourself, which is what i did.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows what the blue rings are on the world map? I have map contacts on but everything else is off, running on full realism. Enemy convoys are usually grey squares on the map and give a radio report.

I wonder if I should both chasing these down?

Submarine.
Either German or Allies, but blue should be German.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've found the fix at post #1031 but you say something about unsuccessful patch to the hole so I conclude that it's not effective 100% ?
As far as translation is concerned, no problem, I know a little French.

How to measure range to target? I recognize target, click proper button and use stadimeter but values in TDC don't change - always default 500 m.


EDIT. OK, i watched several videos on YT and i saw that I have to use additional special instruments to determine range to target. That's nice, more realism.
