Fire your torpedos, sink the targets, enjoy the firework, send bragging radio message and repeat this process until 1945. Wait there until you have (hopefully) visual contact and then refine your position, using the tips from the other posts. Select your speed so you will arrive at the intersection of the target line and your course BEFORE the target. This will be the rough course of the target. Take the tool from the chart that allows you to draw a straight line and draw a long line THROUGH the target icon (extending in the direction the target is moving), while trying to draw it at the same angle as the course indicator. Here is a VERY basic description to intercept a target: Any contact on the map is displayed by a box (icon) with a course indicator (Important: This indicator is pointing in the direction the target is COMING FROM, so the actual target course is the opposite direction). Before surfacing within a convoy, check if the merchants have guns! They are not very good in using them, but getting caught on the surface in the crossfire of 4 US C3s with deckguns is. The noise of the convoy will help you and hiding under a merchant (not one that is sinking, though) is often a good tactic.Ĥ. If you attack a convoy and you are getting attacked, flee INTO the convoy and hide there. ALWAYS watch the distance to the target closely - never fire a torpedo if its less than 300 meters, and be aware that Destroyers can close very fast!ģ. If you decide to go for the Destroyers, try to use electric torpedos in daylight, since Destroyers are much better in spotting and evading torpedos.Ģ.
Not much to add, so only some minor hints:ġ.
If I don't intcept anything I check my orders and make sure I actually completed my run, and then I use the map that came with the game and patrol where a lot of lines intercept (North and South of Ireland). What I do is I take out single enemy merchant ships "on the way" and then do the 24 hour patrol. When you get your orders, go to the main map, find the letter combo of your patrol zone, and then zoom in. In bad weather set the torpedos' to impact and choose a shallow running depth, cause rough weather will make the magnetic trigger malfunction.Ĥ. Set your torpedo just slightly deeper than the draft (in the TDC view). So when you have a ship locked, you can click "ship" in the upper right hand corner of the screen (in periscope view) and check the keel. Generally you want the torpedo to go barely under the keel. After you get more skilled, you can set the depth of the torpedo. Watch the distance meter and when the gyro meter is between 330 to 030 launch. Lock onto your target ship with the lock button next to the periscope. I try and position myself so they will intercect 500 meters perpindicular to me (see crappy pic).ģ. (Sometimes I cheat til I take out the Destroyers)Ģ. If you're running low, then skip the Destroyers and go for the meat. But it all depends on how many torpedos you have. If I take on a convoy I always try and take out the destroyers first.
