CTD - it's not just a job

Your crew is a bunch of highly trained professionals, and it is difficult to emulate their acumen... ahem - but what you can do is as soon as they report a ship, go to the NavMap and track it. Mark where it is. Click on the icon for the ship itself, and see what the game says about the contact. If it says it's coming "Very Fast" and at you, you would be advised to crash dive, since that would be an airplane. If you are wanting to ignore contacts, that is your prerogative. Just mark where they are and get a direction, then avoid them. Give the DD-type vessels a wide berth. If you are referring to contacts that are nowhere near your sub, those could be thought of as "Ultra" reports, and if they aren't close, no need to go looking for trouble and wasting precious fuel oil...

Part of the problem is that these contacts aren't showing up on the nav plot. I nearly got into trouble with a couple of merchants when I got a contact report, couldn't find the ships with my binos, compressed time a bit, to find myself absorbing machine-gun fire.
BTW, the Ubisoft link does not lead one to an updated version of the game. I know this because I paid the money for the download, ran it, and found that I had the same copy with the same issues. The Amazon thing is currently out of stock, so no luck there. Thanks just the same. Shot

I would then contact Ubisoft with a picture of that page and complain most vociferously that they advertised it as a "Gold Edition", which is v1.5 with Uboat Missions Add-on...
For your other original copy, you can bring it up to v1.4 with The v1.4 Patch, unless you have a Steam version... There are still a few mods that use v1.4, just not too many. Webster has some small mods, and then there are the older TMO & RFB versions, as well as FOTRS v2.0 (not FotRSU). |
