Docking and Ending Missions - Page 2

Redbear · 08-21-05, 01:58 PM

I always go back to the same pen and dock (navigate into the pen and come to a complete stop), let the nurses throw a few roses my way, and then end the patrol. I am now being transferred to Brest, so I will want to try a sub pen when I get there.

I used to sometimes hit escape when I was in range of the ports earlier, but with the great harbour traffic mod it's an extra 'carrot' to go all the way in to port to see all the traffic.

I allways dock to the pen,astern of course.

I always like to dock. I figure if I am 30km from there anyways, I might as well bring her in the rest of the way. At night, I will launch a couple of star shells to let them know to get the beer ready.

Hi,

I also dock the u-boat, but always in any pen or dock OTHER than the one i started from (stern first of course!). This is to miss the bug - that when returning from a mission in campaign mode, if you get too close to the starting point of a mission (dock)... you will not recieve any credit for anything you accomplished and you will not be awarded any points.

See Community manual for above:

I slide my Uboat nicely into the dock and promptly crash into the wall.

Petsman · 10-19-07, 03:03 AM

Time consuming to dock at a specific pen. So when i am within 30-20 km i press ESC. I am too impatient for the next patrol. O k , I drink a beer at port!

With a post from Abraham, to boot.

Within 30km of base ...

I don't trust myself to dock the boat without doing damage to it, therefore increasing my stay in port.

I have personally never encountered this problem, even though I have often docked back where I started from.

U-104 · 08-22-05, 08:29 AM

bug?

Nopileo · 08-22-05, 08:33 AM

I've never experienced this either, but once recently it said '0 renown' in the patrol summary. However, the renown had correctly been added to my total renown in the 'office', enabling me to use it on crew/equipment etc.

Hi,

I have never encountered before i read the Community manual -

but i'd read in other threads people complaining that they weren't getting recognised for tonnage on certain missions, so i thought "better to be safe than sorry" and it sounded like a find/fix because it had been included in the WIKI.

Oh, I also always take her all the way to the pier.
