Dingy Launching

loreed · 04-22-07, 12:01 AM

I have read in Berry's helpful and very useful " how to complete a mission" that if you are within 3 miles of your inserction point an option to launch a dingy will appear after you surface and are stopped. I have never seen this, even at under two miles from insertion point. I am probably not looking in the right place. Could someone tell me where this option appears and what it looks like?

Much appreciated

Once you near the objective it should pop up a menu option box that asks if you want to launch the raft or postpone. If you don't see that check in the upper right hand corner of the screen. If there's a symbol there click on it and it should pop up the menu option box.

Make sure you're stoped or just barely move'n along. My sub was move'n around 3 kts and hit the raft damaging it so it wouldn't move. I couldn't complete the mission and had to reload my last save game. I also recommend that you don't use time excell above 8x as sometimes the raft will flip upside down especially if it's in rough waters. Another minor game bug.

I was looking for somethin to appear down among the other buttons like the photo button. But on my third time trying to get the guy off the boat I noticed I was being shot at from shore. Probably bad form to try and land an agent under fires so I bet the option didn't become available. The gunners were rotten shots and it was 0130 on a moonless night so I cant falut them but they were so bad I didn't even notice the first two tries.

Thanks for letting me know what to look for (besides shell splashes).

Listen for them also, they sound like they're bashing the boat with iron skillets! Gooffies...and they're supposed to be stealthies...:p
