DOENITZ ELITE FLOTILLA TRAINING

Welcome to the 5.Flottille!

If you are a new recruit at Doenitz Elite Flotilla (DEF), once your kaleun/kommandant thread has been created at the forum, you should proceed with your training.

----

PRACTICE MISSIONS

Mission names start with DEF 1 - DEF 6:

DEF 1 - Dive Test
DEF 2 - Navigation
DEF 3 - Surface
DEF 4 - Submerged
DEF 5 - Air Attack
DEF 6 - Evasion

The practice missions are provided as a refresher - you
are encouraged to complete them, and they are quite easy,
but you will not be evaluated on them.

They will test basic skills including navigation, torpedo
accuracy, and evasion of air and surface attacks. All of these
missions must be completed using a Type IIA U-boat

TRAINING MISSION

Mission name: DEF Training

It is highly recommended that every new member of DEF who is new to SH3 or simply needing to knock off the rust, complete the practice missions before undertaking the training mission in order to qualify for combat assignments. At present, this is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. If you feel you are competent enough to forego the training mission, you must obtain authorization from BdU to proceed with the Shakedown/Delivery mission.

Once you determine you are ready to proceed with the training patrol mission, remember to take a screen shot of the mission results upon completion, before exiting SHIII. Ctrl + F11 takes the screenshot from within SHIII. The image from the screenshot can be found in the root directory of your SHIII install that you were running. The file will resemble this:  SH3Img@13-5-2018_8.47.25_383.bmp

Notice this file is a bitmap image (.bmp) and needs to be converted (saved as) to a .jpg formatted image. This can be easily done by opening the image in Paint and then select Save As and select .jpg picture, best to name it something like Kommandant_Name_Training_Mission_Results.jpg (example: Manfred_Mann_Training_Mission_Results.jpg) where it is easy to locate and determine the nature of the file.

Report in your Aktive Kommandanten thread that you have successfully completed your training patrol and post the screen shot image as confirmation. 

Details on posting images within DEF forums can be found here: How to post an image.

Next, post a request for assignment to an operational combat flotilla in your Active Kommandant thread. You will not receive your combat assignment unless you have completed the above requirements.

You will be required to complete a shakedown and delivery cruise of your new U-Boot.  This will be specified in your orders.

If you are having issues or have questions, we are available on TeamSpeak3 (TS3) to assist and walk you through the troubleshooting process to resolve your problem. Please post in the 5. Unterseebootsflottille forum and then look us up on TS3.
