Triumph of the wolfpacks

[CaptainMattJ.]

ive actually found a few threads but none truly answered my question.

Im trying to complete the Triumph of the wolf packs in the Black Pit Campaign, and i just intercepted a wolf pack. i follow it for a while, then i THINK i right-clicked and all of a sudden my boat is perfectly aligned with the wolf pack and it seems as though i am integrated into it.

But i was 2 Km away from the nearest U-Boat, i want to get closer and i plot a course which effectively breaks me away from the auto-course wolf pack. But when i try to re-integrate into the wolf pack it wont let me.

so......anyone know the button to re-integrate me back into the Wolf pack so i can finish this crazy objective?

There is no such a button, all depends on your skill. I also sailed for almost a day with a wolfpack, was a great experience. Then I got bored and broke formation. Easy way to sail with them is to plot the course and match the speed.

Anyway, you dont need to follow them or do anything in common if you dont want too. But when you encounter a convoy, try to shadow it and report contact for a while. If is any wolfpack near by, they will join you. So make sure you have IRAI in the mod list if you wanna see a great AI vs AI battle :P

Well its just such that i clicked some button that put me in an Autocourse with the wolfpack at their speed. I honestly dont know how. But thats what i ended up doing was having to match their course and speed up/slow down because half speed was slightly slower then their pace so i had to keep speeding up. But the stupid thing is, when I encountered a big convoy, the wolf pack kept on sailing. Their was a uboat that sailed RIGHT next to it and took a beating before actually diving.

Then, he did nothing. i ended up having to do everything, which was fire every last Acoustic torpedo i had and dive. I ended up sinking maybe..... ~23000 Tons. So i had to go home because of earlier conflicts leaving my hull integrity at 3, and i lost the damned campaign. CAuse wolfpacks always appear where your not, and when you can find one, you cant find a convoy.

Its true, the wolpacks are not very smart. Most of the time they act weird, but will greatly confuse the escorts so you can do great damage to the convoy.

I was witness once to a convoy vs wolpack encounter, was such a mess. But at the end, no ship has survived and also the wolfpack was decimated.

In BP you dont need to go home, you can call for a resupply in the middle of Atlantic. Just ask the radioman to do it.

He always denies me. THe only time where resupply was possible was when we were striking the american seaboard

There is a cooldown for calling resuply. Not sure for how long, but is for days.. or maybe only once a week.
