Anyway, i will start playing it from my laptop this time and had like to play it when i am not online. I remember there was an option to start a new campaign localy. I tried, but could not find the option in the game, nor the topic.

Do you know how it has to be done? pls help me out.

You bet. When you start the game you'll get the UPlay Launcher first. In the top right, there's a "Settings" option. Click on that one and then, in the window that pops up, look for the "Offline Mode" option at the bottom of the list and enable it. That's all there is to it.

Hello all!

Firstly i'd like to say that I love Silent Hunter 5, it has a steep learning curve but i'm getting used to it gradually.

Main thing I need help with is basically finding where ships are. I know all about the red squares etc, but i've seen videos etc of where people have blue and black lines coming out from their ship, now I know that the blue ones are warships and the black ones are merchent ships. Only problem for me is, I don't actually have any of those lines appear. I've tried using the sound guy and using his abilities, but that doesn't seem to work, surfaced or submerged.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or screenshots of where the button is to enable it would be amazing!

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out!

I searched the thread first, but couldn't find anything about this.

This is in regards to re-equipping your boat with the supply guy in port. I remember long ago being able to load torpedos using a quick method like a key and mouse combination, rather than slowly dragging and dropping the torpedo into the available slots. Does anyone remember this or know how to do it?

Thanks ...

To install german voices you have to choose custom installation of the game and there you'll have the possibility to tick german voices. And if you can't hit anything with torpedoes even on the lowest realism settings the trick is when you lock the target in the periscope then you have to press spacebar again to unlock the target, but it's not unlock as such actually. After that the fired torpedo will run anywhere you'll aim your periscope at. And if you aim the priscope at the target then the torp will run that way withinh the firing solution. You simply press the spacebar twice, that's it.

If you don't want to do a complete re-install, you can use Venatore's German U-Boat Crew Language Pack (second download from the top) and install it with JSGME.

Don't forget to use the search engine to find things you need. It's very helpful.

Here are two threads that speak about that mission:

I finished in Operation Drumbeat the first sub-mission U-Boat Blitz.
Out of Torpedos.
Now I have to meet KM Nordmark (??) to refill and proceed to Second Happy Time.
Refuel is rejected by the commanders.

Can't find the refill point/ship/U-boat. HELP!

Did you refuel when you first arrived

Did you go to the orange icon for refeuling

When you get there - the tanker set off - you must catch up with it and get within about 1 km before the option appears on your screen.

You can get a refuel with the first orange icon and then you can request one more - keep trying.
When you do get the ok it will appear in the marked area below

All right guys, few questions.

- Is there any way to raise and lower the antennae? i'm pretty sure Magnum Opus does this, but idk if that's compatible with OHII.

- Is there a key to access your radio inbox?

- I have completed all of the missions in the first campaign, with the exception of weserubung- when does it give me the option to do that?

sorry fer the noobishness!

Vigor1949 · 03-31-12, 01:31 AM

Still puzzled how to reload in Drumbeat.

First refit in Zone 1 with U-398 worked fine.
After ending first submission Blitz, they state to refuell at KM Nordmark.
Now there is a German Tanker in Zone 3 of your map.
But no reload is psossible ther.
After Febr 1st I get the 3rd submission to catch tankers in Caribic without torps.

rgrdz,
