It is 1943-1944

your description of the issue sounds like you ran into a randomly generated DD with "poor" skill. there are five skills defined by Ubi, from poor to expert.
had that DD been an expert, you and your valiant crew would be fish bait. (lol)

in this instance, there is probably not much that you can vary/change/mod to make that particular DD more skillful, as it is probably part of the random level of the game.

if you continually encounter "poor" or inept escorts, you might want to search the Mods forum here for a "harder" escorts mod.

either way, good luck, Herr Kaleun.

Thank you, I will check it more, but it is only one example

Dedushka! after a 3 year 'silent run!'

In shallow waters I took a couple of shells while on the surface so I crash dived and then immediately set depth to Periscope Depth, but it sank down to 55m then stopped (depth under keel was another 6m). The sub stopped at an odd angle and after that wouldn't budge up or down, lots of things were broken (a few to 0%). My crew fixed the leaks and (somehow) repaired things like the Flak gun, but no repair progress seemed to happen to things like the main ballast pump.


Looking from the external camera, the sub was not actually touching anything but was stuck in place, I tried full forwards and backwards, hard left and right rudder, the sub seemed to slide a bit but this resulted in lots of damage and injuries.


Also, when ever I attempted to use TC it just ended up causing a lot of damage even though the motors were stopped and nothing should have been happening.


So with no way to unstick the sub, repair critical things, or even use TC to see if the repairs would eventually happen, I see no way forward with this career. I could reload an earlier save but it's still only the second patrol so probably not worth it, better to start again.


I don't suppose there's such a thing as a console command to teleport the sub a few metres upwards? Seems daft being stuck at 55m depth.

sounds like you've had your rudders, shafts, and/or props destroyed.
ubi does not do a good job in communicating damage.
there are a number of parts that can be damaged and destroyed that are NOT listed in the repair screen.
when you experience this behaviour, your only course of action is to die with grace and then either re-load the mission and do better, or start a new career.

OK, thanks.

Hey guys,

I sunk two ships on my patrol today and neither of them are counted as sunk. There is no symbol on the map and in the captains log the date is not portrayed correctly (can be seen in the screenshot).

It would be great if someone explains to me how I can avoid this bug.

Hey all, I'm using WoS I've just finished the Happy Times campaign; when I try to start the next campaign the two campaigns that I should be able to choose from have an X on them and I cannot select "start campaign". Will I need to follow the guide by editing my saves? It mentions losing objectives but does not seem to address the issue I am having. I believe I followed the guide to change campaign from TG to HT, but can't recall as this was about 2 years ago now. Thanks.

Redsea! finally on the surface after a 5-year 'silent run'!
