Salut! Why are British destroyers participating in the Baltic operation?

That's new for me. Where did you see them?

The Wolves of Steel need some serious fixes. After the end of the Baltic operation, Polish fishing boats and patrol ships remain hanging in the ports of Hela and Danzig. Also near the port of Danzig, a battle takes place between German and British destroyers.

Be careful! When you fly with your vision camera to the port of Hela - your game can receive CTD. It is possible that there is not enough unit assigned to this port area.

1) unguarded convoys (solvable, lots of work to get this historically accurate)
2) problems with ship skins (some impossible to solve within SH5 engine)
3) lack of many sea routes, port traffic, coastal traffic (solvable, lots of work)
4) not working deck guns (solvable) and AA guns (probably not solvable) on AI subs.
5) aircraft not dropping bombs and crashing into sea (solvable)
6) destroyers following player around even whitout detection (not solvable, SH5 code issue)
7) broken y-guns on destroyers (solvable), no playable boats besides VII (solvable, if you had a dedicated modding team, too much work for single person),
8) ships getting stuck trying to navigate near coast (probably not solvable, SH5 bug)
9) Many, many historical inaccuracies like ones you noticed (solvable, if someone has time to find and fix them one by one. That's a lot of time)

...and that's just what I can remember right now. Could probably add dozens more to the list. Point is, sure there's a lot of things that could still be improved and at the same time, it's best and most stable version of SH5, and one of best submarine simulations available.

One of historical inaccuracies. They should probably be despawned when Poland capitulates, instead they just change side and are treated as Axis units.

You're sure these aren't Polish? First mission in Baltic operations tasks you with finding two Polish warships and yes, one of them uses 3d model of British destroyer simply because historically accurate model is not available in game.

British units shouldn't spawn in Baltic at this time.

I was in the Baltic in November and German and British destroyers are constantly fighting there. The German destroyer always wins.

I'm intrigued. Could you tell position, date of the sighting and your version of TWoS? I'll look it up in Mission Editor.

I did an experiment. The same thing happens in the stock game. This is a stock game issue.

What's new, kapuhy?
