Artic Convoy

Sandman_28054 · 01-07-13, 10:24 AM

The date is November 1942, I have exactly 2 months (Jan. 01, 1943) to wrap up the "Distant Cover" campaign before I fail. (I have previously sank one battlewagon, so I need one more and two flattops)

I'm having trouble finding battlewagons and flattops.

Where would be a good place to start hunting?

Nowhere. You've alepready sunk all the capital ships in that level.

Ubisoft never realised that objectives were supposed to be completed.

I don't know why that didn't come as much of a supprise because on the PQ/QP Convoys, sinking 50 merchants is unobtainable also. (Especially with the load-out they give you: 10 in the front, 2 in the rear, and the best I have ever done is sink 4 ships in one convoy)

Come close, but no ce-gar.

I have sank all 50 merchant ships.I picked on the small tankers first,usually one torpedo does the job.
For all other shipping I found the best way,even if it takes time, is to get behind them & take the props out,single screw ships= 1 torpedo,bigger shipping 1 torpedo for each screw,then surface(if there are no escorts local to you) & use the deck gun,saves torpedo's & makes use of a weapon that most times cant be used because of warships.
Stands to reason really.

Has anybody found the 2 Aircraft Carriers & the 2 Battleships? I have patrolled east to west from as far as Murmansk to Reykjavik & north to south Reykjavik to Aberdeen & still not sign, I have even followed the aircraft in the hope of finding an aircraft carrier,plenty of escorted cruisers though.
