Tides of War

Since the EU/UK Patch 201B was released sometime last year I havent played Enigma much, infact so little that it counts at none at all hehe.

Recently I decided to install Windows XP again, cause I was missing the action, and I needed the rush.

Here is my stats from the first round of Enigma in a little under a year.

Broken Image Removed

Mission 2, 4 & 8 was failed once.

Mission 2:

I was stalking an American Convoy, when suddenly three RNE Corvettes shows up and starts to shoot at everything, unfortunally the yanks cant drive Corvettes, so the RNE sunk them rather fast, there was nothing I could do to help it, I couldnt turn around and give them a 4 bow spread as that would result in the Convoy got out of sight, and with just 1 aft tube its hard to keep the RNE busy, and keep them from shooting the convoy.

Mission lost, as the American vessels were sunk 1 by 1.

Mission 4:

Protecting a convoy from 3 Destoyers and 2 Destroyer Escorts, isnt much fun, after I had ordered them to flee, then myself and the Warships above took the RNE for a dance. Unforturnally the RNE were by far more superior using their guns and they sunk my allied warships rather fast, as I had just fired a spread of 4 towards an RNE Destroyer, and was about to order "hard to port", I saw an RNE DE that had snuck up on me from behind.

My mike failed to obey me yelling "hard to starboard" a few times and "dive dive dive" with the fatal result of being rammed by an Destroyer Escort.

Mission 8:

Protecting our Milchcows from the Torpedo boats is easy, or rather it should be.

They dive and I lure the MTB's closer and closer to my two fellow Destroyer Escorts,

A sub on the surface doing a good 20kts is an easy target for four MTB's I failed to evade to the right side one time, its very hard to spot torpedos on the new water surface.

I think those stats are wonderful!!! Trust me, my stats are much worse, things like 38 missions run, 11 completed! I think your loses were just unfortunate.

Just an inquiry on this....

what is the highest rank that can be earned in the Campaigns?

Is it the same level for sub and surface?

For Germany it is FregattenKapitan

For USA it is Captain

For RNE it is Commander

and I think its the same for sub/surf..

I thought for the RNE it was Captain too.

I thought for the RNE it was Captain too.

You might be right, as I said I havent played since 201B went public, and if I remembers well, some of the ranks has changed.

The ranks changed in one of the patches, because they were slightly out of sync. In the fully patched version the highest rank for RNE/USN is Captain; for KLM it is Fregattenkapitan.

I like the fact that Jesper is an Assassin....I don't want him stalking me in a sub.

When I started playing this (April 04) I launched straight into a campaign not having done any practice. Thought I would learn the game in situ. After completing the campaign, I went back and re did some missions and although it added to "Missions Run" it didn't give me any credit on "Missions Completed". If you compare Jespers stats too, you can see that if you continue to run missions, your score deducts the more missions you run. (In Jespers case, 500 for one mission).

My stats pale when compared.



Completed the USA Sub campaign (9/04), I really got hung up on the single oiler mission. The orders didn't specify the DD's but after going back (after numeorus failed attempts) I picked it up in the Captains log.



Completed the IGN Sub campaign (10/4), I found this easier than the others. I got sunk in one mission but the other three "failures" were because I had to exit to go to work, or something else non important like that. But anyway...I'm getting better.

Anyone else spot the BUG shown in that las screenshot? Hint: Look at the rank badge.

yea they changed the rank but not the badge so it says your a captain but the rings on your sleve show you to be the next rank up so in a captains case you carry the badge of a commodor
