Arctic convoy mission again...... Cracked the hard sounding parts of this mission relatively easily but struggling like hell to find the 2 aircraft carriers and two battleships. Does anyone have any idea where they are?? Been sailing for two months nearly and I am having to avoid convoys to conserve eel's.

I'm having the same problem, I found one battleship NW of Iceland but that was 3 months ago. I keep stumbling across Cruiser battle groups and destroyer groups, but NO carriers or battleships. If YOU find any let me know

I found one east of Scapa Flow, port on the north part of the British island. Was headed to port it looked like, counted as well. Still in search of 1 more BS and 2 Carriers though.

I kept patroling within 108Km of my last assign patrol area and found 1 crarrier basttle group and 1 battleship battle group.
Still camping same patrol area. Down to 4 Torpedo's. 2 x Fore and 2 x Aft. Refir seems to be a waste of time. Appears it may be better to RTB and get the mission again.

Ahoy, I have the same problem... I've sunk carriers almost immediately (just stay in patrol area and follow aircrafts, which are too far to start from airports), but i can not find those goddamn battleships. Can anyone help? In best case time and coordinates of patrol or battleship

Thanks a lot, I've spent too many evening looking at battleships (now I almost dream about them

)

or you can click on the names of the ports to see what carriers are based there and wait outside for when they return.

Thanks DavyJones, I've never noticed that

(I noticed it just at airports) But in Scapa Flow was just HMS Archer (another Aircraft Carrier). I sank it to make englishmen angry, but of course, nothing else happened. I'll try to wait for the BS somewhere nearby. Thanks a lot for now

No problem

Like a few others I have found some battleships & heavy cruisers,all flying the Stars & Stripes,the target lines(Red for allies,Blue for Axis & Green for Neutral) the American ships are green for Neutral,how can this be when America entered the war in 1941 and I sank the warships in 1942,plus the tonnage bar did not fill up recording that I had sank the ships.
Has anybody found the battleships & aircraft carrier? if you have,where & when did you get them?
