Hammer and Anvil III (Mission #9)

Code: Select all

Here is how I did:
As the first 3 DD's approaches from the east, sail towards them to assist your allies (do not set them to follow you). Shoot with the deckguns only, as there is too many allies infront of you, so torps arent worth much.

As the next 3 DD's approching, you have a dozen of your allies there, so let them handle the ships out there, while you turn north, still you can assist, shooting with the decks towards east, but not needed. manuevere you ship in and out the tankers and subs, while you head north.
Attack those 2 DD's coming from north, by the time youre done with those, your allies will (should be done with the 3 to the east). Now 2 or 3 more comes from NNE, those should be easy as you (should have most of your allies close by).
I didnt care much about the AI planes, as most of them were gunned down by the part of my allies out in the east.

Please help !!

USS Sub #6:
Mission Orders:

(USS LIONFISH) Close with the RNE convoy and sink any oilers you find there, tankers should be sunk too

Intelligence:

A persistant RNE alliance destroyer is after LIONFISH, up ahead is an LFN convoy appearantly under attack.

This mission ?

Here is what I did:

I went to periscope depth, and when the destroyer ws close enough, I sank it... now I had free play at the other ships, + as far as I remember there is another SUB in the area (german sub that is also attacking the convoy).

When you have taken out the DD you can surface and get in real close to the convoy (if youre too far away).

The mission orders are pretty simple "SINK EVERYTHING"

Code: Select all

(USS LIONFISH)  Close with the RNE convoy and destroy any oilers you find there.  Tankers should be sunk also.

Good work, Lionfish.  Sounds like a brilliant strategy.  Our charts indicate no other U.S. subs were out your way, so the other bogie the RNE tangled with wasn't one of ours.  A U-boat, maybe?

Or wait, you didnt mean the GMX retail release, I just checked up...
In the Gigex version

USN SUB #6:

You have to lure those enemies into a trap

Do this, soon as the mission starts, you have to surface and head straight towards your own convoy and sail along with them.

After a few minutes, you get a note about a wolfpack of submarines has arrived, they will now hunt the poor DDs and you can if you want break off the course of the convoy and head towards the DDs to assist your allies in sinking the enemy.

The question was the direccion Suth-SuthWest and run quickly.
Thanks for help..

i've already played the mission two at least ten times and in still can't complete it. i've tried a trainer but it doesn't seem to work.. maybe because my version is v1.0.37 or something i don't know. Does anybody know where to find a trainer or cheats that work with the new patched version?

... there is only 1 trainer, and it works ok... but why use it?
You can find tips,tactics and help on these forums...

The trainer is for the UK retail release.

The patch is for the Limited Gigex release.

So if you have the patch installed, then you aint playing the UK retail.

there's this sub mission two, the one where you get to dock with a re-supply sub(i think is the germany imperial one), while trying to fend off planes with your AA guns, well whenever i fend off the planes, then when the docking is just finished, you can see some CV's and DE's in the distance, they come bearing down on you pretty fast, and start firing on you with their deck guns. does anybody know how to do this?. i can't seem to bring them down because my torpedos keep mising at long range, and at short range they start shooting torpedos at me, which i can't reaaly see so i don't know how to avoid them either.

scroll down to my tips for that mission.

hey! thanks a lot! i finally managed to complete the mission using the rather useful crash dive tool! hmm..i wish we had a way to see the path of the torpedo, like using the 'sonar' thing or something..
