Tides of War

Going after what appears to be 6 torpedo boats. Their about 3-4 times faster than me. After the initial contact, dodge some torps and maybe sink 1 or 2, they scatter and take off. How the heck am i supposed to catch them and sink them? Best ive done so far is sink 3 of them, but when i return to port i get a mission fail. Either i steam half way across the stinkin world looking for them or i simply cant catch up to them. What am i doing wrong here? I hate to get a mission failed. Just started playing this game yesterday. Any help for a noob plz.

(Edited: Its the surface campaign)

That link doesn't help me at all. It sounds like an escort mission. I should have mentioned that its the surface campaign and not the sub.

Assign the other guns to targets , as well as having main guns on " defend deck guns" setting ,, or even, just the 1 4 inch to " defend deck guns" , and assign the 2 other 3 inch ones manually too .

Keep good watch on all around , if 1 torpedo boat is sunk, re-assign guns to another , keep watching , if torpedoes are fired at you , then you know from which likely direction , and alter course , altering anyway often . (Turning into direction often is best ) Firing a few torpedoes in their general direction too at times helps to keep them at a distance not too close to fire at you , yet within range of deck and other guns .

It's watching around , both on radar and on 'spectator ' , and switching guns to nearest , or another torpedo boat when one is sunk .

Just make sure all guns are blazing at something most of the time ! and fire a few torps when possible .

The previous reply from Jesper should be useful when you get to that mission in the sub ! LOL ( I wonder if he realises other things exist besides submarines , been down there toooooo long ! )

Well, i finally won this mission. I guess the key is to close the distance as fast as possible all while dodging some torps. Get in close and sink them quickly so they don't haul ass across the other side of the world. I got lucky though since 2 of the torp boats were sunk by torps from their other boats. But i bagged 4 of the 6.

Basically i was feeling more like Christopher Columbus rather than a captain of a warship. Not a fun mission at all. Hope it gets better.

Hmmm I was pretty darn sure that I read the topic as "Sub German Mission #4"

I must have been submerged for too long

Sorry 'bout that one

JagdTiger,

All of the number 4 missions are designed to separate the men from the boys. I think you will enjoy 5 and 6 quite a bit. They are a bit of a reward after number 4.

I wish to register a complaint!

It's easy to confuse the sub and surface missions Jesper , when you have been down there that long.

( I know this is because you use a schnorkel ! )
