any help would be great

thanx

umm well hi and welcome.

You should start by downloading the patches there is for the game.

See this topic for a few links http://enigma.tidesofwar.net/index.php?showtopic=466

The battleships are not in the unpatched version, and you have to unlock them by completing a campaign for either Germany or Royal Navy. when you complated a campaign the Battleship will be available for patrols.

For help with missions see our tips and tactics section at http://enigma.tidesofwar.net/index.php?showforum=6

Use the training patrols to familiaze yourself with the vessels.

In the game you can use the F1 F2 F3 F4 keys for info about the control of the vessels. and using a microphone gives the ultimate experience.

Regarding Multiplayer/Online, that is being developed at the moment, there is no timeline for when it will be available. you can find more info about it here: http://enigma.tidesofwar.net/index.php?showforum=10

Need more help, dont hessiate to ask

thanx all

sorry missed yer last bit about the multiplayer. i went on the tides of war website. and registered for the online. when i saw noone else had i thought this was a dead game. but there seems to be a cult following.

so what type of ships are available to unlock then??? and which countries are they from??

The registration area on www.warfleet.net doesnt show how many has registered yet. but the official number is around 3500.

There is no carriers in this chapter of Enigma only Battleships, HMS Hood, Kaiser Wilhelm, and Prince Edward. (RNE, KLM & KLM).

Cruisers, Carriers, etc are planned for future versions of E:RT (perhaps they will show up in game patches too).

Regarding free MP, I dont think there will be such thing, but one can never tell.

There has been some debates about it, like spectator mode, and only drive merchants/tankers and oilers.

The future will show us

TAG has said carriers operate outside of visible range.. else where do you think planes come from? They are invisible for the time being.. lol

Since we have invisible carriers, I suspect they could also come from invisible land bases since some missions always mention being near certain landmasses, islands etc..

Some simple tips..

Make sure you patch the game for your version completely before starting any campaigns.

If you complete a LFN or IGN campaign first.. you can unlock the battleships for either LFN or IGN, but not available at the end of the USA mission at this point in time however.

If you unlock one battleship, you can copy your missions files to the same folder and rename them to unlock the others instantly. (just change the letters IGN to LFN and leave the rest of the filename including any spaces alone.) Be advised this will also allow you to go into any campaign that was copied, and skip over any mission or jump straight to any mission you wish to "replay". More info can be found in all the normal submarine forums / webistes..

Hi, I'm also relatively new to the game - I've been playing for a couple of weeks and have managed a few of the sub and surface missions for the RNE, however I am falling down mightily on the second MTB mission - I can't even get near to the 4th sub before it dives.

I've read all the stuff on the mission and it seems daunting to say the least, but I have read reference to setting the angle of the torpedoes to a different depth! How can this be done. I'm not using voice commands and seem to manage fine without them, but if I need to then I will.

There seems to be loads of little controls that I can't get access to - such as getting other ships (like the Raiko DE in this mission) to come to aid, let alone even beginning to think how to refuel at sea.

Are these all just things I will learn? Or are they something to do with the version I am running. I am using EU/UK Retail Patch 201A as downloaded through the forum, but this doesn't seem to give me these controls. What can I do?

Thanks in advance

Jim

with the 4th sub line ur self up with the sub then get within 50m of it once it has dived then stop engiens and wate the subs somtime resurface if they think you have gone.

you need the latest patch to get the torp depth commands

The fastest way to learn it to jump into the voice chat and ask questions..

Or ...

Read every thread on all the Enigma fan sites..

Patch your game, completely...

Earn rank in the game so you can control other ships...

Learn how to operate the controls for the various weapons, settings ..

Make sure you try to learn all the voice commands and use them.. cmopared to mouse and keyboard alone, it is faster.

Press F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 in the game to see more info and external cam view.

Watch what the enemy does when they depth charge or torpedo you.. learn from others..

JR - the MTB mission is quite possibly the biggest, er, annoyance in the whole game. Even knowing how to do it still results in me having to make four or five attempts.

The easiest way is to use the external camera to line up a torpedo tube with each sub (don't be afraid to pause the game) fire it off and then move on to the next sub without waiting to confirm the kill.
