What I've encountered playing v2.5
=======================
Baltic Mission Notes:
German Admiral Hipper Heavy Cruiser chilling out 14 km west of Hela. Whut thuh? No hostility from either side? Why was it there?
During my CTD testing, I noticed that several times, BdU sent me a request to report my position and status less than an hour after leaving dock. Is this an error or just part of the randomness effect, or are they helicopter parents over-worrying about their son going off to his first day in Kriegsmarine kindergarden?
I arrived at Kiel without any CTD.
Kiel notes:
Requested new mission, started mission - CTD.
Reloaded mission checkpoint where I was en route to Kiel. Proceeded to Kiel, docked, requested new mission again, started new mission again, got to the boat this time - CTD.
Disabled Harbour mod, reloaded, requested new mission, started mission, no CTD. I guess harbour mod has problems (at least with Kiel), but I thought this was rectified?
Oddities:
Polish merchant starts in Kiel harbour within a stone's throw of German ships
. No hostility from either side. Polish merchant then beaches itself and sinks bow first in shallow water (that sentence seems to contradict itself, doesn't it? .. lol
)
Another merchant ship (not sure whose) on shore, on fire, floating roughly ship's height in the air, rotating like a pig on a spit.
As I'm being piloted to the Skag, half way between the pen and the harbour mouth, a huge German convoy comes in at 8 knots. One German merchant suddenly sinks, bow first, without any apparent contact with anything.
Before I reached the harbour mouth, the convoy vanished like a ghost in the night (even though it was daylight
)
20 kms out from the Kiel harbour mouth, another Polish merchant is coming in and is destroyed by escorts and planes.
75 kms out, a two-ship Polish convoy are strolling in and is destroyed by escorts and planes.
By the time I was 100 kms from Kiel, there were no less than six ships destroyed. I take it nobody informed Poland that we were at war?
Over and out ...
