I have been playing for about 13 hours straight yesterday and about the same the day before. I started on Wednesday. I have about 14 patrols done, that is why I am in 1941.


I tend not to follow assignments, I tend to go on my own and torpedo ships in harbors. Sank the Revenge Class Battleship 2 times already in Scapa Flow. I am stationed at Kiel but I tend to go to "Bergen Temp"
This is what i mean when I say that the ships are "white" in the recognition manual.


I do stay on the ocean floor at about 90m or 80m at 0 knots but my submarine bounces and i keep taking damage.

Ok, will check the missing ships images.

You have to very slowly lay down on bottom, not only horizontally but vertically too. If still taking damages, don’t do it then...

OM is not really made for harbor hunting...it can cause CTDs...not to say the perf hit when closing harbors.
You should prefer high seas hunting

I know, I know harbor hunting causes problems. If I save in proximity of a harbor and then load I CTD or if I don't the ships move a bit and get stuck on land and all bad stuff happens then. The thing is I have only 5 torpedos and it takes about two torpedos to sink a merchant so I go to harbors cause I am a cheap bastard that likes getting the most out of what I got.

Oooohhhh - that looks nice Fifi! Who did that for you?... - Now if we can only find our issues with the fps hits...

I see you got him shot down before he could drop his boom-boom on you. In fact, it looks like he was in his attack dive when you got him!

You have really strange issues... but there is a known bug with upgrades, see post #1 For turn around.
We are still tracking this upgrade problem. In the waiting, best is to avoid upgrades...

The Type II D boat gets a turm upgrade, and it has a wintergarden that looks very much like a VIIC, except a pinch smaller... Hopefully, the gun and gun crew came with it. s7rikeback has worked a ~lot~ on that. Does the gun shoot, succerpunch?...

They are a death trap, invented by the devil himself, if you follow orders... boo-ah-ha-ha-ha!

But it is impressive to watch the fireworks. If only those planes didn't drop those bombs so close...
