Help on two fronts

tloco28 · 07-05-07, 04:45 PM

1- How do you pick up survivors? It's a "blue" allied lifeboat. I come up to it and nothing happens. I even bumped it going 1knot.
2- I'm playing the campaign and both my objectives were met, sailing out to a designated spot and sinking merchant vessels. I'm out of ammo and go back to port and the mission won't end. I even docked in a slip at Manilla. Very frustrasting!
I have version 1.2 and losing interest real fast. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Tony

Don't give up the ship (pun intended).

I saw in some of the threads you can lauch a boat to pick up downed pilots..How do you do this? It's no where in the manual. Can someone tell me how to do it.

When surfaced, close (<1nm) and slow (1kt) get on the watch deck, point your binoculars at the raft and click on the 'rescue' icon in the watch officer toolbar.

That's how to do it as Saintaw said.

. Thanks guys. I started the 2nd mission over in the career to see if I can finish it.

Good luck. I got this mission once and after spending an hour trying to chase down enough pilots to 'satisfy' the mission requirements I finally gave up.
