Dockyard Missions Problem.

[snadge666]

Ok guys, starting the next phase of Dockyard and I am confused by these two tasks, obviously I am doing these in COOP as you need to play like an idiot to fulfil them.

 

 

 

Trying everything to spot torps, which I do in my Friesland using Hydro, multiple times, causing fires also for one of the other tasks and also ending up several times in the top 5 even after playing like a fool, yet these counters stay on zero, the 'fires started' works ok, is there something I am missing?

When the enemies do not launch torps, you cannot spot them.

 

Otherwise, try closing and restarting the client.

Yeah, maybe I'm still having that packet loss problem, same as I had the other day for the daily missions, just so annoying lol.

 

 

I am spotting torps as the enemy launches them, I am even putting myself into stupid positions to do that before anybody else on my team.

Maybe try other DD than Friesland for spotting torps, such as Lightning. Friesland is more an HE spammer from some distance, Lightning a cap contester. You will spot more torps contesting caps.

Spotted torps are registering (see below) as long as you actually do spot them in battle.

He wrote he is playing co-op.

But that makes no difference for mission progress. The only limiting factor there is are the tiers V-X. True, if he plays coop bringing a torpedo DD is better than taking Friesland, as the ship gets 'replicated' for the opposing team.

What you write is true, what Camperdown wrote was true but completely irrelevant to the tasks.

[snadge666]

I will try another Destroyer, maybe Benham or Shima and I will yolo and try again lol, 16 torps to dodge.

Well, yes. The only thing that matters you spot those torps (and, obviously that the game registers it). However, in coop it is smarter to pick a DD, because sometimes there are very few DD's in Coop, and it makes sense to increase your odds of spotting torps by bringing a ship that itself can spam torps in quantity.

Spotting your own torps doesn't count!

Now that would be too easy lol.

Just check in the battle report if you spotted any torps, it will says so if you did:

Why co-op, just use the right ship, im doing this with a jutland because its on the front lines and has hydro, it spots a lot of torps. 7 jutland games both of these missions 70% done. Added benefit : I'm also finishing the 100 fires/floodings in a DD, cause 1.950.000 damage and earn 5 million credits. Basically 5/6 missions will take 10 jutland games in random battles, maybe 15.

If you do this in co-op for whatever reason you start from scratch for the mission that has you farming credits, it's much quicker to do all of these simultanously in random

I should have said, I have to play like an idiot, I do not want to put my team in that position and coop is ideal just to farm these missions pretty quickly, especially seeing games only last 5 minutes.

 

Update, using Benham and Shima worked, it seems you need to spot those torps before anyone else on your team, that means rushing DD to get them to unload on you, at least I am practising my torp dodging, I wouldn't want to do that to my team.

Uh, being on the front lines, duelling other destroyers and screening torpedoes early so your BBs don't eat them is actually how you play a destroyer. You don't want to put your team in a position of having to deal with a destroyer being player correctly?

 

The missions might as well say "play a destroyer like a proper destroyer captain ten times" - If you think this is abnormal behaviour for a destroyer I have bad news for you.

Lol no, I do know what I am doing in a destroyer, there is a reason I am trying to rush these missions as in 2 weeks I will be working 12 hr shift with very limited time to play so I do not want to have a backlog of criteria to fill,  in 4 matches I have done the above, alongside the setting fires one, I just play far more carefully in PvP, I'm getting the hang of forcing bots to unload their torps.

[COPlUM]

Sure I guess you can force that one mission quicker if you trigger torpedo spam from bots and don't eat them, but forcing that one mission in co-op will only slow your progress down since you're not doing some of the other missions simultaneously. If you just play a hydro DD about 10 rounds you'll get that mission done in randoms while also making good progress on 5 other tasks.

I know what you mean but the OP isn't about which mode I should do them in, after retrying the Friesland, no spots, must be a bug due to it not having torps itself, can anyone else try it please?

 

 

If it works with other players must be my flaky internet again, weird it is just Friesland that won't register for me.

I'm not familiar with the griefing class, but isn't it much easier to spot torps from the air and much closer to the launcher than any allied ship?

CVs cant spot torps since the rework.

I ask because sometimes it's cruisers, those scoundrels are using cover and shooting back at my poor battleship, it's an outrage, they have to just sit there in the open waiting for my 457mm guns to reload. Sometimes it's destroyers, those scoundrels are using torpedoes and my poor battleship doesn't come with a rudder.

There's a thought, it might be quicker to spot 100 torpedoes if you played BB's.
