Yeah they turned all directions when not ordered to any particular ,the way I played this before and even started heading East ! ( Try that at home too lol . )
Thus , I circled , 9'0'clock to 1'0'clock , and sunk Alliances with the subs in middle ! Aiming torpedoes close to the subs often . and destroying them a few times !
I have found sometimes west , sometimes more southerly , is best to order them depending on where the Alliances are .
They also now allow me to move north of them ,, and recontinue their course , of course .
Today I played a few times , experimenting on strategies of this mission .
Some , I took on the 12 Sunderlands , north of the subs and Barbarossas.
Tried to get out of range of Alliances and concentrated on planes and LFN sub. Managed to sink it twice , and it me once! |
This way I had far less opportunity to launch torpedoes at long range towards the Alliances .
If the three other Barbarossas are eastwards of you , and probably in a triangular formation , rather than in line due South it makes it easier to take on the LFN sub and planes because they will engage the Alliances a lot sooner , and more easterly .
Requires a lot of watching for torpedoes from both , and external view , and close evading . Once I ran out of all AA ammo ! Kept up the 5 inch shells ! A pity , because this mission is good for playing in the AA guns .
