Idle Camera Sailor

AVGWarhawk · 02-02-21, 08:12 PM

I'm on my second patrol. First patrol went well. Sunk 4. Collected $$$ and outfitted my boat with the finest canned bread. I took my BDU task for the second patrol. I have a new camera man with a yellow exclamation point over his head. He is idle in my control room. What do you do with the guy? Load in tube one?

Send your skipper to go talk to him. He’ll ask you questions about the boat etc for his “report”. Iirc click your skipper then right click the “reporter”.

I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Wait until after the war. He’ll write a book about you that gets turned into a movie, and you’ll become famous.

just to clarify

ANY officer aboard the boat can interact with the correspondent. not just the captain. So if the captain is tied up elsewhere and you have a nearby idle officer, just use him to do it

Awesome! Thanks !

Just instruct the photographer not to use a flash on the camera at night! It could destroy your night vision!

I will feed him to the fish in the deep if he does so.
