Returning to base

thehiredgun · 07-16-06, 10:59 PM

After you are out of ammo & torpedos what is the advantage if any in taking your ship back to base manually verses exiting the patrol & hitting the button return to base?

Some extra renown and the realism value of actually rueturning to port instead of getting Scotty to beam you up.

Hi.

How to do it?

JScones · 07-17-06, 04:24 AM

Open Basic.cfg. Look for lines:

[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=200
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=200
CompletedPatrol=100
NEUTRAL=-1
ALLIED=1
AXIS=-10
WrongShipSunk=-5000
FirstRankRenown=100
SecondRankRenown=3500
EndCampaign=-5000

Edit to your liking (mainly the orange lines) - it's pretty straight forward what each line means.

I actually get a kick out of standing there looking at the sub pen as it comes into view

Well as I play in the Wolfpack campaign I have to sail back to base
Not something I used to do when first started playing but does increase your danger as you have to be carefull on way home with few or no torps and maybe Hull damage too

In fact in my current campaign patrol am making my way down to meet the supply tanker in Cadiz - have had DC attack and have no periscopes or sonar

one crew member dead and 1 prop out of action as well as having no torps and deckgun destroyed too
If I was playing on my own I might have beamed back to base but have to stay alive long enough to get to the supply ship now - well its was either the supply ship or try and run the channel with no eyes or ears

Certainly adds an edge

I use to paddle back to base until I had the perfect patrol of like 170 tons ... I was so happy and proud and then BAM hit a mine in my own harbor

,, game over

Now I just warp back unless I am close and want to take the chance

Hi
Its an online campaign where we are directed out to patrols by BDU etc
You play your own game within a certain time frame with multiplayer games if you and other boats can find the same convoy - we all use the same SCR as scripted by BDU so they know where to direct boats
Kinda cool
On my 4th patrol at the moment

The section you want is
Wolfpack League Campaign Silent Hunter III

Check it out new recruits always welcome
