she was solo and she was sailing at 31 knots... speed which I set to 10mins13secs in my video.

But as, seeing the torpedoes, the lookout always commands the boat to slow down, I always adjust the speed with 1 knot less, so there it was 30 knots

Speed ​​found by taking two distance readings and using this formula:

Speed ​​= Distance / Time

Four torpedoes launched Four torpedoes hit.

I play with defective torpedoes. So, I was lucky that all four exploded....

In all the subs I've played in Dark Waters I never needed to add crew. Part of the people watching outside need to be moved to the resting room (can't remember the proper name right now, located above the damage team) when underwater.

if you are based in Europe and were given a mission in the Far East, i have a fix for that that keeps you in Europe.

After a really long long time of shaping up my DW install, I could finally set my type IX for some action.

First patrol was quite boring, but the second one gave me this present: a British battleship slightly ahead of an otherwise apparently unescorted convoy next to the Portuguese coast (Gibraltar-UK).



Why was the battleship miles ahead of the convoy? No idea. I've checked the convoy layers and the battleship was supposed to be part of the convoy . Anyway, I just couldn't let it get through... Fired a full bow-tubes salvo and:



All four hit. It rolled and sank just like that HMS Barham sinking movie we've all seen, but without the final explosion



I think it's the biggest ship I've bagged in a campaign since I started playing this game +30k tons

One thing i've noticed is the large amount of neutral ships in the British convoys in 1939. I've met a few ones of about 20-30 merchants, and more than half were ships of nations that were neutral at that point of the war (Greece, Netherlands, Panama, Norway). Far too many, in my opinion.

It does not prevent me from sinking them :p. If they are neutral, they do not have to trade with England....

Have to be careful, sunk too many of them, you will los your command, career over.

In three patrols I sunk three neutrals (not on purpose, they were in convoys and either mistaken for British during night attacks on convoys or hit by torpedo which missed its original target) and at end of third patrol, was informed I was removed from command, court martialed etc.


I changed this my mod for dark waters, still neutral but no career ending penalty for sinking them. Since the penalty is neutral, I do not believe gain renown for their sinking either.

Someone uses the calculations through RAOBF? It feels like there are errors somewhere, either in the table, or in the disk itself. Please tell me your opinion.

My most successful patrol so far:



Got me a HMS Furious for dinner .



Unfortunately, the two merchants have not been recorded by the campaign master because I saved the game while at sea, and when I reloaded it somehow they were lost (together with the 2nd patrol zone and a "Sink merchants" objective), despite the marks being visible in the map all the time and appearing in the Captain's log...

Bugs, bugs, plenty of bugs. This game could have been so good if properly developed... Damn you, Ubisoft!
