ok cunnutazo here is what I usually do:

1-leave port, go towards spain, thats almost due south (this to escape RAF coastal command patrols)

2-refuel at vigo or near in spain

3-make a straight course to your objective, dont submerge unless necesary, as reloading the batteries uses fuel quite uneficient, remember U boats were submergibles designed for best performance while surfaced and employed best on night surface attacks.

4-your speed should be no. 2 (that is, the one you get by pressing 2 on the keyboard)

5-your boat usually selects speed no 3 when you input your navigation orders, but that burns fuel at a higher rate than no.2, however no.1 is also ineficient

6-when you get to your objective do two things
a-note how much fuel you used from your refuel to your station, this is usually expressed in % that is 65/100 this means you used 35% to get there, that is the magic number, when you see your remaining fuel closing that value is time to head for home, add 5% more for bad weather/chase, whatever
b-find a nice spot and stay there, you can submerge at 0 knots and come for air from time to time, your sonar has a longer range than your lookouts.

7-only use your engines to pursue a target, else you will run out and have to abandon your station without good results

8-refuel on spain again...

9-keep a good lookout for the RAF

Class dismissed,

quick question;how hard is it to get a new u-boat,or are you stuck with the one you start out with for the whole war?

Atlantis · 09-22-08, 03:04 PM

Random Question.

where is a good place to find Capital Ships? Something like a Cruiser or a Battleship.

Many thanks for the quick and the exhaustive reply cgjimeneza!

This mod with PE4 is truly a wonderful experience, Lurker. Many thanks for all your hard work!

kiwi_2005 · 09-23-08, 11:27 AM

um, when do i get a new boat? Ive had the IIB now for 6 patrols, base is Kiel. I went to start the 7th patrol and it told me to go to Fremantle? Theres no way i could make that trip in a IIB.

Running
SH4 / Uboat missions /
OM V400
OM V400 Patch 3

Have I missed something:hmm:

EDIT:
Ok i read the posts further back, i see its a bug, so i started a new career instead. VIIC 1941.

No you didn't miss something, I had fix the TypeIIC/D in patch 2 but "FAILED"

to fix the TypeIIB

cunnutazzo · 09-25-08, 05:58 AM

probable bugs?
1- the sound of the 37mm cannon is missing (type VIIc40).
2- GII torpedo description is wrong (range 3000m, not 5000m), and I have to set it to the exact draft of the ship for the magnetic impact, no slightly deeper, otherwise no explosion.

I'm trying to get Operation Monsoon working with SHIV, but when I go into the game to start a career, OM is not showing up. What am I doing wrong? Below is a copy of my jsgme.

Edit> I figured out what I was doing wrong, sorry to bother.

I'm enjoying it very much, although I find PE4 (beautiful as it is) doesn't very realistically recreate the waters around the north of Scotland:hmm:

Maybe we can petition the great ones to produce an Atlantic Environments mod to accompany OM?
