Tides of War

Hello Gentlemen,

Please help! I have been playing German campaign mission 4, the attack of the fast torpedo boats. Firstly, if I don't sink them all they take off at 34 kts to parts unknown. I on the other hand am left to troll around trying to find the survivors. Occassionally I will find one or two but more often I can spend hours with no results.

My question is this. Is the map limited in size so so they may be hiding at one end or does it go on forever and secondly and more pressing. I can't help but notice that in the small threat display there seems to be an intermitant red border that appears in one of the four quarters. I can't find anything in the manual on this. What is it and is it a clue to the hiding places of the enemy.

Much Thanks

Ratyy

Welcome.

The red borders are showing that you have enemies outside your tactical display range.

blow up the big tactical and set your speed down to 1/3 untill it has updated.

if there is both a border to NW and NE it doesnt have to mean there is enemies to both side, but that there is one or more N of your location.

etc

Hope that helped

Message recived and understood. Hopefully I will get past this mission. Many thanks.

BTW if anyone has achieved succes I would appreciate your advice. I have even resorted to using the AA weapons on them and dropping depth charges in my wake. Can't be sure if it's doing anygood.

Love the game can't wait for online play.

Regards

Have you looked in the tips forum?

I dont even know what the mission is about, I havent played a single surface mission in ERT yet...

Well, once I get hold of the game, if I decide to remain surface-side, I might put an end to that! fire: hehe:

I believe the key to this one is to manually aim your Deck Guns on the PT Boats. Keep your AA guns on closest threat and put the 40 on the ones behind you and charge into them so they don?t get away (just be sure to pick them off before they fire their torps) If those poor PT Boats knew how easy it is for Ole Argon to hit them they would be running the other way! This mission is good practice for manually aiming Deckguns.

Give Em Hell Sailor!
