How do I even intercept?

[Hanalyd]

I am at the red border circle of the enemy but he keeps teleporting away so I get like 100 yellow messages that I am near. When I click on it it says "Entering Area" in the middle of the screen but nothing happens.
I don't get it...

I generally head for the center of the circle trying to cover as much area as I can with my own radius of visual/hearing range. There's sort of an indication that you're getting closer when the 'estimated distance' reading begins to decrese.

That's the big point.
I can't get to the center.
The target keeps teleporting away I traveled for miles now and I remain on the border of the red circle. I can't get closer.

Hi,


I had this problem too on the unstable B127 preview 4 build.
Ultimately I get spawned at 300 meters depth and sink if you keep clicking time forward.
I did not tested or encountered this YET on the unstable B128 version.

You better ignore the encounter and go another direction.

But it is my main objective.
Snap er niks van.

It seems to me that you are moving to slow, not being able to catch up with the target.

Try establishing in which direction the enemy is moving, and then plan your route not to the point where the ship/convoy is predicted but try routing the intercepting course (slightly to the front of the target direction, planning the approach from 90°). Turn on full speed and stay on the surface. or periscopedepth + full speed with hydrophone and snorkel on.

My strategy is to go far to the front and wait on the predicted course. Always work, and I simply stay at zero speed, submerged, and wait for the convoy to get into my targeting sight.

The fleet is moving my way.
I tried standing still and when it comes near it teleports back again.
Went in full speed also but same issue.

Hi TGITBIB,

if you have no mods activated, send a savegame with F11 to the devs

Cheers Ruby

I had this once, i am early game and had the first radar being used, i swapped the man back to radio to turn it off....... also my radar does not seam too pick anything up. i gave up using it and now i slow down and go periscope depth with Hydraphone to find targets, much better

Hi Martin,

this is not a active radar.
