Frigate Duel in the Scotia Sea, 2023 question

Post by Ollsbols »

Hi all,

stupid question I am sure but I am new here.

I am playing this mission and have had a distress call from a trawler.

Sir, we are receiving a distress call from FV Revda She reports she has lost power and is in need of assistance. She is reporting her location as......

If the weather gets any worse, Revda may be in danger of sinking. We may have to suspend the intelligence-gathering mission for now. I advise we move to her location now and transfer her crew to the Kent. We'll need to get right up alongside her to get them aboard safely........


I am now 19 meters off her port beam, with a helo hovering 50ft above. Am I meant to do something to complete this tasking (i.e. rescue her ships company)? The Type23 in CMO doesn't appear to have a sea boat.

I went into the editor and looked at the Events/Triggers and the HMS Kent (F-78) has to stay near the trawler for 1 hour.

Hope that helps.

I was Navy, but Assigned TAD to the 24th MAU Hq in Beirut. By far the finest period of my service!

The message provides some insight into how to proceeded but not for how long.
