3 "bugged?" achievements, battleship, 90% realism campaign, sink full convoy. Anyone got one?

[Net]

EDIT: Only the battleship achievement remains "bugged" as far as I know now. I have 50/51 and I've tried to get this last one but no luck.


Battleship Hunter - In a full 39->45 campaign I only found ONE battleship in a convoy and that was a military only group. This one did not unlock the achievement however.
-- Still haven't heard of anyone getting this and I've now tried it once legit and again in a console hunt save scum. Achievement warning on console still there as I sank the battleship. No go though.

Ace of the Depths - I did a game with darker nights off, manual torpedo calc off, map contacts on. This results in a 92% realism difficulty on the start screen. Did not unlock at 1945 when I ended the game. There however seems to be some bug with difficulty options changing if you start a new game because at one point my savegame was showing 70 something realism. Starting a new game with maxed settings and then reloading the correct savegame once again showed 92%........
-- BUGGED? BUT CAN BE DONE, easiest way is described in my next post. I suspect the % isn't correct or it can somehow break itself over a long campaign.
-- FIXED IN PATCH

Convoy? What Convoy?
Tried this several times, did not unlock. Seems to be bugged.
-- FIXED IN PATCH


I can at least confirm all the other achievements in the game seem to be working as intended as I got the rest from my single playthrough.

Okay so I just did the final campaign in the game (Last start date possible) with all maxed realism settings and that worked so now I got the Ace of the Depths achievement. It was a pretty quick speed run under 30 minutes by just patrolling and returning to port for vacations. Pacifist run > all.

Perhaps my savegame was bugged due to difficulty options transferring or some of the options like using map contacts or crew aiming excludes it.

Sinking an entire convoy no fires as expected with patch 7.

Nice saw it in the patch notes and good to have confirmation. Will have to do that one soon then but a short break is needed after a full war run =P

Now just hopefully someone can confirm the battleship one still also.

"Convoy? What Convoy?" - Is it possible that the convoy needs 10 merchant vessels? Today I sunk a 9 merchant + 4 destroyers convoy and nothing pops.

Most probably yes. Mine was 16 feighters/tankers without any escorts.

Sank a convoy of 9 ships and 3 escorts - no achievements, I will look for a convoy where the ships will be 10 ...

[Net]

So I got the sink 10 ships in a convoy, just found a lightly guarded convoy along the eastern coast of England and went happy mode with the cannon after taking out the escorts. 2 escorts, 2 C3s and a ton of tiny merchant ships. Probably around 15 ships total, also had 3 speedboats messing with me.

However the Battleship Hunter one still eludes me. I sank one battleship in a warship escort group during a patrol on my full legit playthrough 1939->1945. No achievement.

Today I tried to use the console to find another military convoy with a battleship in a new game. Saved each time before using the console and then reloaded after seeing the positions of all the convoys in a patrol square with a battleship sighted.

After some trial and error I found one, however I tried sinking it in several possible ways but no luck. Achievement warning on the console was still there after sinking it so I just should not have disabled the achievements at least.

50/51 gang.

I can confirm. I sunk a battleship multiple times (reload save game) in 1942. It was a military only convoy. NO ACHIEVEMENT

[Net]

I was looking a bit through the datasheets, as far as I can tell, it's impossible for a battleship to spawn in a normal convoy.

So the only way you'd get a battleship in a normal convoy.... well it would be for a military convoy with a battleship to somehow end up passing a normal one.

@NetQvist
Do you now how near "passing" is? Maybe I can provoke it with my save game.

What was the radius of this?
I have a suspicion that the convoy I was pursuing for 10-15 km was not counted as a single entity.

Just the area a convoy with 16 ships would usually take. They were going with the usual formation so it seemed to be a single entity. As they had no escorts I did a frontal attack and always sank the closest freighter, so the area didn't expand by much.

I have no clue... I won't bother trying for this achievement anymore unless something changes

I also checked it, and the Spawner page does not include any battleship spawn infomation, seems the only way a battle ship could spawn is by the trigger of mission( When they tell you Nelson/ Rodney was seen in some patrol area)?

Yep this seem to be a special type of spawner as well since it's not included in the normal spawners.

There's a mod by ?littlefleet? for warships using the bundle for the old beta. There's a discussion thread on the discord with him and Link and Link does seem to be saying that battleships can only spawn in warship type spawners and they need a Grid as destination and not a port.

I tried some spawner modding but did not succeed in spawning battleships, did however make some landconvoys across the UK lol.
