Ok, who made it through Gibraltar ? (mission, not campaign)

Catfish · 01-05-11, 01:43 PM

I have looked in all kinds of forums - no one seems to have been able to do it in the demanded time, or at all -

Can one at least change the time - i don't care whether i get to the other side in 8, 10 or 30 hours if i come through alive at all.

so with or without mod, who made it ??

Is there a trick ?

Greetings,

The only one i completed so far is saving the bismark - and the bismark was the one to kill a ship xD

In the extended campaign Open Horizons is a mission/objective that require to pass Gibraltar ... twice. With IRAI and 100% realism settings, its a really challenging task.

i tried it when i got home, took me 3 triess but once i got the general idea it was easy took my 5 hours, but i was unable to locate a capital ship =/

I just tried it and made it right away. Against my expectation my plan worked out very well.... how od

.

I did 90% on the surface with both engines AK and only slowed down when i came really close. I dove only ones and surfaced as soon i could.

with stock AI I could almost believe it....with modified AI highly unlikely

Hello Matador,

Did you use realistic options ?
Any mods installed ?

so which course or path did you choose ? There is a initial path laid that points appx. SSE towards a narrowing convoy. Do you run this course to the end before heading east ?

I tried it surfaced at AK ahead and when i change the course to a hyperbole going more and more east i always run into a hunter group surfaced, or dived, with the same result lol.
The thin is you cannot run silently at depth because you will not make it in the time they give you (which certainly is idiotic - no one cared if it took you 3 or 30 hours to get through, if you made it at all.

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish

Two questions:

- Are underwater currents implemented in SH5? So it might be possible to try something like in Das Boot.

- What happens after the time limit? Game Over screen or can you play further?

I should read slower: I thought you were an u-boot captain gone rogue...

- maybe Bismark and sinking are weaved together in my mind...

I guess i use most comon mods, and used the northern part of the strait.

But like i said, i was surprised myself

I only had to be carefull ones, i stoped the boat to become less visible and at that moment just wanted to know if the two destroyers, one heading east, the other west on paralel courses about lets say 7 - 10 km out, would see me. They did not.
