I'm currently playing the pre-war Pearl Harbour Campaign, I've done my prewar patrols and I'm on mission 3. I was at sea when the Pearl Harbour attack happened, so unfortunately I missed the scripted attack.

I've been given an assignment to pull up to Japan and take photos of Yokohama Port. Problem is, the entry to Yokohama and Kawasaki is shallow as all hell, and there are two destroyers patrolling side to side across the only entry.

I've tried running silent at 1 knot and slipping between them when they're facing away, but I can't slip past before they turn around, blast their lights and start pinging.

I've tried being completely motionless on the bottom before they turn around but again, the lights come on and the pinging starts. There's also a smaller boat that motors around at high speed with depth charges and, I'm assuming, a hydrophone, because on the off chance I do make a little headway, that boats jets to me at full speed and starts dropping depth charges on me, Destroyer flares go up and the whole thing starts again.

I feel like I might be missing something here. Did I just luck out and get a mission that can't be completed? The distance shore to shore in that pass is so narrow that the destroyers cover it before I can make any kind of move to navigate the pass. On the off chance the planets align, the Destroyers are facing away from each other and I get a brief gap, that smaller boat comes motoring in hard right on top of me.

What am I doing wrong here?

barry,

good question! you are not doing anything wrong.
those missions, which we-veteran-kaleuns refer to as Hollywood missions, are almost impossible to complete.
when you draw one of those missions, it is best to let it be, sail to an area where you feel you can sink some ships and go and do just that.
there is no penalty for an uncompleted objective, other than you do not receive the points for completing it.
restart the mission and go and sink some ships!

Oooohhh this is the mission people are talking about. I thought it was odd considering the lengths the TMO team went to to create a realistic atmosphere.

I take it this is the whole reason for Run Silent, Run Deep. I get it now.

Looks like its time to go get RSRD and start the campaign again.

Thanks for putting me out of my misery.

lol....you may still draw a Hollywood mission when you add RSRD to TMO as i do not know if the RSRD team re-wrote those missions.

when you acquire more experience, there are things that you can do to enjoy TMO/RSRD and get around the Hollywood missions without too much difficulty.

Default This does it.

Wow, I've just spent half my day installing this thing and following each step to the letter -which by the way, is not as "streamline" as you advertise- and the first thing that happens to me is CTD after scoring a torpedo hit on a ship. This does it, this ### does it.

Absolute garbage of a mod and game, along with all Silent Hunter games. Game engine in all games is riddled with bugs that make them unplayable since you never know when you will get a CTD and a corrupt save that will throw to the bin hours of effort and valuable time.

I played SH3, SH4, and SH5, all of them vanilla and with megamods (GWX OneAlex, FOTRS, TMO, and TWoS) and it's the same ### thing in all of them. Stupid AI and an extremely long list of precautions that you have to take in order not to corrupt your save files. Don't save near AI, don't save submerged, don't ALT+TAB, yada yada yada yada yada yada. A bunch of unacceptable ritual-like requirements to achieve something as basic as keeping your save files ok. What a load of ###.

Silent Hunter games are absoulte trashcan material, with and without mods. The other option out there is UBOAT but it doesn't give a ### about realism and the UI and crew management is nightmarishly complicated.

Guess it will be years before we have a minimally decent sub sim.

Can't say I'm impressed with your first post despite your obvious frustrations.

Please be advised to acquaint yourself with forum rules regarding language before and if you decide to post again.

Oh and I'll finish by informing you that a great many on here whilst sympathising with your viewpoint will also disagree with you.

i understand your frustration, enrique, because i, too have had difficulties with TMO CTD's, but i must agree with Jimbuna on your post.
Here is a snippet from the forum FAQ page:
Acceptable language & graphics, topic spamming
Please use language that you would use around your mother. No vulgarities, obscenities, hate speech, or foul language. Do not use *******ing w*rds with aster*cks, that's the same thing as vulgar languge. Express yourself with respect to others.
No graphic images of people murdered, blown up, dismembered, or similarly ripped up. If you must, you can use a link to the image and include the warning "Graphic image warning".

No pornography at all. This is an instant ban offence. Any images with nudity are prohibited. Images in swimsuits or original war-era art are ok, as long as there is not any clear nudity. Always stay on the conservative side if you have any doubt. This forum is family safe.

Please do not engage in "topic spamming", where you post several threads on the essentially the same topic in a short period of time. If you want to discuss women's synchronized swimming, fine; start a topic on it. But don't start another topic on women's synchronized swimming clothing, women's synchronized swimming schedules, etc. for several weeks. Same goes with threads on politics, religon, and cultural issues. We don't need six threads on "Obama is ruining America" and eight topics on "Arabs are Evillll!" on the same page.
maybe it is time for you to play a different sub simulator. one that will not frustrate you as this one does.

I've drawn a mission to photograph Cape St. George, near Rabaul. However, there's nothing to lock on to in order to activate the camera icon, just gun batteries and a lighthouse. Is this mission un-completeable?

Is this the one you have?




That would be the one that has 3 CV in the bay south of Rabaul, in the shallows, and behind sub nets & minefields... the ships are date dependent, and if you get the mission when they are not there, definitely not completable...
