Sailing to Japan

[Zinmar]

Is it possible to sail to Japan in this game? I was thinking about trying it at some point but the map doesn't go that far. Or is the GWX going to address that?

[melnibonian]

GWX will address that as you will have South East Asia and Australian Opperations. In GW you can sail to Japan but you need a big boat (i.e. IXD2) and places to refuell.

i have a question.
if you reach the end of the map in one of the sides, but you keep on going
will you pop up on the other side of the map ?

I haven't try it but I don't think it's possible. I think the two sides of the map are not linked

[Morts]

ok:down:

[melnibonian]

Either way it makes no difference. The area around Japan and the Pacific is almost empty in GW. In GWX though there is a lot of traffic in this area, especially around Australia.:up:

well im gonna try to sail around the world when i get home.

ill write a story about the trip if you guys want it (i s#¤& at writing though:-? )

That will be great. Thanks a lot

[Morts]

[melnibonian]

Well better late than never I guess;) ;)

[Morts]

haha yea :)

[bigboywooly]

Yes if you sail off one side you come back on the other :up:

[melnibonian]

Thanks BBW I didn't know that:oops: :oops:

[bigboywooly]

Neither did I till I tried it

A while ago I made a trip to the US west coast in my IXD2 and found bugger all
So I thought while I am down this way will checkout the Indian ocean - like a mug I sailed all the way across the bottom of S America and past S Africa to the Indian ocean
Again not a lot there so headed off to New Zealand and tried sailing off the map to see what would happen
Appeared back on the left side heading for the US west coast again

Do'H :rotfl:

You most certainly cannot sail to japan as your submarine has no sails on it! :rotfl:

[AJ!]

Hes got u there :D

Oh sure, throw logic in our face....see if we care...........:shifty:

[Jimbuna]

Perhaps an around the world trip won't mean you have to refuel :hmm:
Just enable the unlimited fuel (or whatever it's called) option :yep:
A bit of cheating or totally unrealistic in some peoples opinion (mine included) :yep:
But whatever tickles your fancy I suppose :arrgh!:

i have something to do up at scapa flow and it includes my torps and enemy ships:arrgh!:

[Jimbuna]

In that case don't book an 'all round' ticket (life can be dangerous) :up:

[Captain_AJ]

Go to japan and Join the IJN !!!

Hehe, yeah that sounds interesting.

[melnibonian]

Once GWX is out I'll take my IXD2 and join you in the hunt for the Americans:D :D :up:

[ReallyDedPoet]

I actually sailed into a port in Canada where my parent's lived and I have Kayaked, kind of neat.

[Corrupt_File]

Funny, I well, did the same thing... Sailed to Corner Brook (where I lived). Nothing there (not even fishing boats :\)

[melnibonian]

The Pacific is empty in SH3/GW/GWX as there are legal issues with the pending release of SHIV. So until SHIV is out the Pacific is off-limits I'm affraid:down:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Prince Edward Island, and yes, nothing there, still was cool though.

Geeze. One of the condition's in Japans surrender should have been "Allow computer games to be made about our failure.":lol:

I think this is the problem actually. Since SHIV is based on the Pacific the moders cannot touch it. Otherwise it would be a conflict of interests with UbiSoft

Love it!!!:rotfl:

That may have legal issues, but I'll just say what we are all thinking. That's stupid.

True:yep: :yep: :yep:

[d@rk51d3]

I could understand that there would be issues if they were trying to sell GWX, but as a free mod?

I second Cpt. Stewker .

[ReallyDedPoet]

I agree with the free modding thing, why not allow it.

[bigboywooly]

Its not a question of anything other than respecting the region the Ubi devs are working in and staying away from it

Who knows maybe in time someone will add the pacific to SH3 but for now that is the Ubi direction so we stayed away from it

Besides there was more than enough to do with the Indian Ocean and Black Sea

The legalities surround SHIV.

I assume we are referring to the mid-Pacific here? Because is there not activity (if not mild) in the Southern Japan/Indonesia/Australia area?

[melnibonian]

In GWX there is activity in the Indian Ocean, around Australia and in the area around Indonesia. Everything else in the Pacific is empty space:cry:

[U-snafu]

Yes if you sail off one side you come back on the other :up:

Da##, you mean you don't fall off:o ---Im gonna have to throw away those 14th century geography books:nope:

I would guess that after SH4 is released for a while (and if there is no retro port w/sh3) a mod expansion will be done by someone to "pacific" pacify us guys that will still be sailing the U-boats.

Yes, in SH3, they don't expect you to spend time to do so (why don't you stay in Atantic??? Everything is there), since in unmodded ver, there is no base in Pacific / Indian Ocean
