Lfn - Sub Mission #5

#1
Once again I come before you naval geniuses to ask for advice on another mission. I start this mission facing the wrong way to do any damage in a hurry and remain at the start depth. The instant I try to move..even silently..I get 5 or 6 destroyers come to get me. No matter how I try to avoid them I get DC'd into oblivion. Ive tried allsorts of ways including shutting the engines off but the AI destroyers never give up and eventually hit the target. The convoy I am supposed to sink is too far away for me to make a speed run at underwater. If I try it I am dead before I get half way there. Also my batteries prob wont last long enuff to get close enuff at that speed' date='
Any help would be appreciated,[/quote']
sorry nothing on mission 6 as im not there i'm stuch on 5 the one with the 4 tankers any advice then i can try and have a crack at 6
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS Sorry. Im stuck on mission 5 as well not 6..got confused with the other thing I was looking at. Im not suprised you are stuck. I for one cant move a kilometer without getting sunk
did you try my technique? go waaay below 200meters
No I havent played this mission yet' date=' but I would imagine that you "could" go down where they cant hit you, then pivot silently around.

or you could do as I prolly would if I was on the mission, surface to scopy depth and give'em hell from the abyss[/quote']
After 196 metres my little sub starts leaking and I have to stabilise. I trawl around under there at that depth barely using engines but still they find and sink me. Also the time I take trying to evade puts the convoy out of reach. You' date=' Jesper, are the bestest sub driver round these parts..go try the mission then come back and tell your old pal Archer how its done[/quote']

I tried the advice but I never got it to work. So what I did was this: I ran at flank at 90 degrees for 5 minutes at 195m. Cut engines and coast for 1 minute, then run at flank at 70 degrees for 2 minutes. This got me within 1000m of the oilers, with one annoying DE in the way. Cut and coast, while rising to 13m, kill the DE and the oilers are cannon fodder.

Make sure you aren't moving when you fire else you'll leave a periscope wake which will bring the wrath of the other DEs and corvettes down on you.

Call me a poor sport or whatever you choose but the people who made this game probably are terrible game players who can?t win at any game. Because of that they made a game that you have to be perfect or very lucky to win. I sank 11 ships and finally had to come up because of a low battery and they got me right away. For some reason they never miss. They say get the oilers but you can?t even try with 6 DE after you just after you start the misson. They are probably laughing all the way to the bank.

Well took me about 2 hours to beat this mission and the bad thing the next is harder!!!!!! I figured out why they make this so hard, it is to go on mulitplayer and pay them some more money so we can go against each and really enjoy the game. You want to see something that is really sick I got this as a reply to why the missions are so hard

(Enigma was designed to be a little different game. The patrols are there to let you choose a mission and level of difficulty that you are comfortable with. The Campaigns are designed to start where the medium-hard patrols end. Enigma is a strategic game and quite often learning some patience and trying different tactics is vital. It is also vital to understand the mission assignment. Most of them have communications from your officers that will try and throw you.) Can you believe that last sentence, not only do you have to beat gobs of DE's and such we have to try and figure out what the mission is. Give me a break! Don't tell us how to win but at least tell us what the mission really is.

I think actucally this mission is kinda easy. OK, I need some trys (i also tried the storming manouver), but at least I made it on this way:

At first I take care about those DEs and CVs. When they were destroyed, I went on surfaced at flank speed, heading 80? to get to the 4 VS (until here no hull damage). On the way I got one of them with my deckgun. The others stand all in a row. I submerged because there were only 15% of my hull left. I sunk the those VSs and also the last CV, that was incoming from sw, where also all the other Ms were (now I had 2 torpedos [5 hadn?t hit there target]). With my 15% hull i went on surface again, trying to get some of the Ms. But no change. They just needed two more hits and then I sunk. But the mission was allready won. :D

(GZ = DE; KV = CV; VS = ?)

Well i thought this mission was the hardest i had played....6 seems just as hard...but i wanted to say how i did it. First thing i did was get to periscope depth, and come to a stop to get an accurate reading on the BTAC. Once i had a good scan, set at flank speed to a bearing around 130, since the tankers are bearing about 80-90 degrees. Dont worry about being noisy, they find you no matter what...Very shortly most of the DD's and DE's will head toward you. When they get within a hazardous range, dive back down deep... at flank speed, its hard for them to get charges to you....the DD's and DE's are gonna keep cruising around up there, About every 2-3 minutes come back to 1/3 or stop, to refresh the BTAC with those oilers...Eventually what happened was the DE's and DD's get away from the oilers and behind you....you can then pop up within 1000m and send some torpedos at those dumb oilers. Important to be always moving, and changing depth. For a while i was up at about 12m cruising next to a CV that didn't seem to care i was there.
