Thanks, guys! I loaded an old save game where I met the enemy carrier again and this time it even worked with launching Manta`s and Walruses. The walruses sunk it after 10 minutes. :-) However, I was not able to left click the enemy carrier in front of the island at first. It always opened the island menu instead of issuing the attack order, maybe that needs to be fixed as well?

Hi all, I have only played a short time yet, but during this time a few questions grew in my mind. One of my islands has been attacked, so I wanted to sail there with the carrier. Don`t know, if this is necessary at all, but, since you can`t control/ play the island`s defences I thought I better go there personally. In the proximity of the island I faced the enemy carrier. I couldn`t start any of the vehicles, so I assumed I might be too far off of the shore. I noticed that the carrier defends itself against enemy Mantas, so I thought it will be the same now. The enemy carrier steered directly towards me with guns blazing, damaging my ship... But no automatic response from my side. Hm, I guessed that I`m supposed to open fire manually, so I turned the ship and tried to pursuit the enemy, but I wasn`t able to left-click the enemy on the map, neither did it work to click anywhere on the open sea. Since I wasn`t in the mood to manually steer the ship the whole time until catching up I turned away... leaving a weird feeling of complete helplessness. So, I thought it`s better to ask some people who know this game better than me. I appreciate any help/ clarification in that matter. Best regards, Michèl

@cuppa: I just built one factory of each kind the construction menu offers, I haven`t captured any airfield hangar or so. From that initial "Helipad" I`m able to purchase helis. Yet, all vehicles arrive with crew, although the manual is talking about ordering units should be possible without a crew and since for no reason the game doesn`t accept the "F7" key on my keyboard it is a huge effort to clear all the vehicles first, before I can mount them with my team. :-( That you can`t buy helis is probably just another bug and since a few people seem to have no problems with frozen A.I., I guess everyone of us has to fight with his individual bug infested version of the game. Probably the serial key creates a random list of bugs for each player... That`s what they meant with never the same game experience twice... ;-)

Hm, at dusk I also got this idea, but then only stumbled over trucks and jeeps and their drivers until night time. :-( But thanks for the tip, I hope eventually I can make it back to base and then I will buy three Mi-24 Hinds and hope that will put enough light on the battlefield to find myself an officer. :-)

Hi everyone, I saw single posts about that "issue", but couldn`t find any answer to that, therefore I would like to mention it here. During my "Dogs of War" campaign mission it got dark and I was wondering, where the Night Vision goggles are hidden? None of my team mates is carrying one and they don`t show up in the "buy weapons" menu. Where are they??? Or are we supposed to finish this mission before nightfall? At the beginning I was taking the cities with a tank, which was also weird, because the spotlight is just covering the area where the gun is pointing and the weak bicycle lamp for the driver seems not illuminating anything... Anyway, in the middle of nowhere an AT enemy ended my night-cruising and what next? Do I have to find my way to a near friendly city only with the map? Do I have to increase the gamma value of my monitor until I can recognize some structures or trees in which I get stuck wandering through the night? If not Night Vision at least a small flashlight would be much appreciated. Or am I missing something? At least I hope I miss something and someone of you can point me in the right direction, otherwise ...how am I supposed to continue? (cry) Fast forward through the night with only 4 times faster than normal speed? Oh, and, of course night time is also the prime time for the enemy AI, as it seems they hit you with even more precision than during the day... I also want what these guys have! Does anyone have an idea how to work around this "issue"?
