Training mission
The training missions can be found with the port officer.
Follow the training officer's instructions carefully during the missions. The officer will not tolerate any deviations. If not, there may be problems with the missions.

Milk cow
First you have to get a milk cow as a reward. (Campaign mission)
Then you can define the position of the milk cow in the HQ. The milk cow is initially positioned at the coordinates DE9.

With a leader you can set a new coordinate. Of course, this will take some time. Therefore, plan the coordinate of the milk cow well in advance.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524352237

Radio Message
With the first radio message you receive the information that the milk cow will be in this coordinate and you are requested to send another radio message when you have reached the main coordinate.

With the second radio message you will receive the exact coordinates, how long it will wait there and it will be shown on the map as an icon.

The HQ can be opened in the port and here at any time.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524899037


We are Lost!
If the position accuracy drops to 0%, you will lose your position on the map. Pay attention to the values on the map table and map! Crew management and the gyro compass will help you to solve this problem in general.

welcome to Uboat!
Sailors with passive activity (brown bar) will carry the water to the central.

Good hunting!

Cheers Ruby

No, that's not what I mean, what you're describing is opening up the bilge inventory screen and initiating a transfer of water from one compartment to another.

What I'm referring to is clicking the little water droplet icon in the lower left corner of each compartmetn when viewed in section view.

I'm on an older system with a GTX 1080 card and I have no issues on max settings. What are your specs? Are you running any mods? Share your output log which can be found here

I don't know if this problem has already been mentioned, but in the event of a leak in the hull and consequent flooding of a section of the uboot, it is impossible to assign more than three sailors to transfer the water (using buckets) to another section. The same applies if I have two flooded compartments and I want to transfer them to the same compartment (control room where the pump is)
Hi Destro1er,

Sailors will automatically seal leaks without command.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794652988
An officer must be commanded with RMC on the activator.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794653056
If you order water to be carried out of the station, nothing will happen if there are no "passive" sailors.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794654550
If you have passive sailors, they will immediately start carrying the water to the central.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794655294
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794655762
And yes, any officers can close leaks, but it takes 2-3 times longer than an engineer.

Cheers Ruby

I have a five year old HP Omen and the game runs fine on the highest video settings. Could it be your video card?

Gray Fox also posted the same comment in another thread. We've been trying to get him to elaborate further but he seems to be more busy yelling at people in the mobile gundam discussion board =/

Were they in a convoy? You cannot board "neutral" ships in an allied convoy either. Any neutral ship sailing in a convoy escorted by allied warships.

Then they had to be tankers or smugglers. What nation? What date/year? What mods?

You're playing with mods and you're reporting a bug in the Known Issues thread?
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494069162

Please, report these issues directly to Link, the creator of UBE on his Steam workshop page or on the official Discord server where there are some UBE channels set aside, not on the Uboat Known Issues thread, thank you.
