Lost Uboat Mission

[torpex]

In order to sink the lost U boat the mission says I either need explosives to mine the ship, or to scuttle without explosives , Requirement -Ship Engineer. (This option isn't available) even though I'm on the lost U Boat with the U boats Chief engineer, so isn't the Boats Engineer a ship engineer? Bug?

Scuttling is a skill you have to unlock with xp. Your engineer probably doesn’t have it

Sink the boat with the deck/flak gun instead

"Ship Engineer" is an engineer skill that your engineers can unlock when they level up. It lets you scuttle boarded ships without using explosives. I agree it should probably be renamed to avoid confusion like this.

If you don't have the charges or an engineer who can scuttle the boat, your deck gun will do the job just fine.

(In fact now that the charges are a single use them, a deck gun round is by far the cheaper option)

I’ve completed this mission in past games by using the deck gun or the flak gun.

It's overly easy to sink. It only took a few shots with the flak gun and it went under fast.

[Blind Faith]

One shot with the deck gun.

Thanks Guys. I did know I could use the flak/deck gun was just confused about the ship Engineer requirement. I looked into His unlocked skills and saw nothing about a ships engineer qualification, thus this post ))

It’s probably hidden behind the second row. You can’t see it if the engineer is still level 1
