Hi! I am currently new to both the game and the forums http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif But i have a little problem. I am on year 1939 1st flotilla, and i have done all the objectives but when i am home at the place you started at i don´t know how to end the mission. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/bigtears.gif I have pressed Escape and then clicked on "Exit patrol" but then on the summary there says on the line "missions ended" it is a 0 so i wonder if i have done the mission correctly..... Oh and is there some kind of sign showing if you have completed the mission succesfully? like "mission completed" or something. Please help me! i am about to destroy my PC if it won´t work this time!!! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/typing.gif http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/disagree.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/bigtears.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/51.gif http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/784.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/compsmash.gif

several of those bugs i have when playing atleast two of them.But still the list over the bugs does not give me a answer to how i can finish the mission

[Minoos]

The way I understand the game is use all your torpedoes and send a status report. Once you receive the message from BDU "return to base", being surfaced and away from trouble just press escape and choose return to base.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

First of all, merely shooting off your torpedoes without aiming or hitting anything won't give you points or renown. You need to sink enemy ships, and the more ships, and the more tonnage you rack up, the more renown you'll get, and you can then upgrade your u-boat. Besides you don't HAVE to shoot all your torpedoes if you have no target. You can come back to base with torpedoes in the tubes, and merely return to base because of low fuel, excessive damage, etc. The best way to exit the game in career/campaign mode is to sail within 30 km of your home port, which I believe for the 1st flotilla in 1939 is Wilhelmshaven. Once you're near enough to the port to see it, then you press ESC while you are surfaced. This will take you to the next menu where you select Exit Patrol. The next menu to come up is the Mission Summary telling you how well you did and should show you Continue Mission and Dock at: Wilhelmshaven in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Click on Dock at: WIlhelmshaven (or whatever port is your current homeport) and you'll be transported to the "Office."<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

Come to think about it, you CANT fire off torps without a target in sight, if you try to, it says something like "There is no solution to target", and your request for emptying your tubes is denied.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

Tell that to all the guys who go to hit the + key to increase time compression, and accidentally hit the ENTER key, sending a torp on its way. No target solution was needed at THAT time????????????????? There are MANY ways of configuring SHIII. Some people are vanilla with only the 1.4b patch. Others use NYGM, while still others use the Grey Wolves. And not all configurations work the same way.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

tuddley, even in UBWA 1.92 I can (and did) fire torpedos at pretty much anything from lighthouses to the ice pack.... Could you please describe in more detail when you get that "no solution" message? I never saw it. Perhaps it's in manual targeting only? Normally I play two careers in parallel, a "fun" one with auto-targeting (for cartoons) and a "work" one at 100% realism, but in the latter ones I've so far not tried to fire at anything but an enemy ship, with a valid solution set. And do you need a weapons officer on station for that? I never have his station manned - no need for him in auto-targeting, and his job is disabled at 100% realism anyway.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">
