Wolves at War III Starting Soon

[Heibges]

http://home.comcast.net/~battlesims/wsb/media/265851/site1045.gif

Wolves at War is a closeknit community of WWII subsimmers who use SH3 to roleplay the career of a Kriegsmarine WWII Uboat Captain. This is the third go-round, for Wolves at War, and many of us played in it's precusor iBlitz before that.

There is a BDU, Flotillas, Flotilla Commanders, Promotions, Awards, and individual Patrol Order issued by BDU to each submarine.

If this sound like something you might be interested in, check out our Website, WIKI, and Forum.

Mein Gott :o
another Flotilla where i can sign up

[Spruence M]

This sounds fun, I am checking it out right now!

[Sailor Steve]

Mein Gott :o

And you will find that this might be the original (or close to it); WAW is a descendant of the Iblitz Campaigns for SH2.

As far as I know, only Pacific Thunder for SH1 (still being played, by the way) is older.

Its true.... we've come a long way since then and so has SH ;) Wolves at War III has made some major leaps over even WaW II. We've implemented some pretty good features. Looking forward to kicking off another campaign, the best one we have had yet. Hope to see everyone there.

Hmm... I think Adolf Bummer's a time to dust off his Kpt's hat at get out one more time. ;)

[GoldenRivet]

sounds interesting, when GWX 1.04 is released i'll consider giving that a shot.

[GOZO]

Hmm... I think Adolf Bummer's a time to dust off his Kpt's hat at get out one more time. ;)

Excellent idea!!

You are most welcome back (from the dead I suppose:D )

I'll just name him Adolf Bummer IV, that settles it! :p Looking forward to start patrolling again! Tho, need to read the whole page thru, to get me back on track I think there's quite a few changes. ;)

Welcome back, Adolf! I see you have registered at the Forum.

[Dowly]

Welcome back, Adolf! I see you have registered at the Forum.

Also registered to the site, so when you have the time, activate my account. :up:

[Penelope_Grey]

Looks well cool, and sort of nerdy... but... well its not that thats putting me off its the "Must be at 100% realism" part.:down:

[danlisa]

IIRC, Pen, I'm not sure it has to be 100%. I don't think manual targetting is forced upon you. Might have changed though.:-?

[HW3]

No manual targeting is not forced on you and, you can use the external camara to take pictures too.:yep:

[iblitz]

Looks well cool, and sort of nerdy... but... well its not that thats putting me off its the "Must be at 100% realism" part.:down:

I think our presence here qualifies us all for nerdy :hmm:

You have the option of manual TDC or not, it is your choice. The external camera can be used, however not to give you a tactical advantage or during combat. We are not a shooter 100k tonnage club, we try to stick to historical realsim where possible, and I realize that is not everyones cup of tea. ;)

[danlisa]

I think our presence here qualifies us all for nerdy :hmm:

:rotfl: You've got that right. My wife is always chirping in from the background calling me a nerd.:88)

[JayR]

Eagerly waiting for the approval of my new account!

Going through the practice missions meanwhile...

Ps. Any news on the starting date of aggressive operations ie. the war?

[Heibges]

Patrol 1 will start on Friday.

But it will last a week longer than other patrols, so folks can continue to joing for the next week or so, an still have time to finish Patrol 1 if they choose.

[onelifecrisis]

This sounds kewl. I signed up... waiting for the account to be activated :)

BTW when you guys talk about "manual TDC" are you referring to the WO Assist option?

[Heibges]

Members are free to use Auto TDC, Manual TDC with WO assist, or Manual TDC without WO Assist.

And discussions about which setup is the most realistic are generally not tolerated. We haven't had a flame war in 4 years, so that is another thing we have going for us.

[Dowly]

Adolf von Bummer & U31 ready to roll! Let's go already!!! :p

[Myxale]

Cant wait ot sail out with the WaW guys. :up:

[Heibges]

Two more days now,
Two more days now,
Hey Hey Hey, we're going to the At-laa-a-ntic

[onelifecrisis]

Members are free to use Auto TDC, Manual TDC with WO assist, or Manual TDC without WO Assist.

Me start a flame war? No chance.

*hurriedly edits the earlier post on WaW forum*

Ahem. Rgr. Understood.

[PhantomLord]

Good to see that some experienced Kaleuns are available.

Willi Lenz, first time WaW, is arrived in 5th flotilla. I´m off for tonight doing my training. :D

[Spruence M]

U-50 Reporting In. Tried to sign up, have not gotten a reply. Although I did'nt read all the rules before I registered and Did not choose a Germanic name, I would like to know if I should/could re-register to join up.

It sounds really fun. Cept I would like to finish the war! 12 Patrols might put me on shore duty too soon.

[onelifecrisis]

It sounds really fun. Cept I would like to finish the war! 12 Patrols might put me on shore duty too soon.

I have the exact same question. How does it work? Do you start with a fresh new commander when your first kaleun gets a desk job, and continue the war that way?

[Spruence M]

They did say in the rules that he could be called back up for the release of the Type XXI.

[Heibges]

They did say in the rules that he could be called back up for the release of the Type XXI.

Yes after 10 or 12 patrols or so, you can opt for a desk job, or maybe even a staff position.

And you can come back at the end, for a Type XXI possibley.

[JayR]

Training mission completed and report has been sent! Waiting to be assigned to a flotilla and an u-boat. Just in time for the war to begin. :D

I have to say even after only the training, WaW seems really great already! :up:

[melnibonian]

I'm really tempted about that. :yep:

[Jimbuna]

If it tempts the ferret back into a sub it must be good :hmm:

[Packerton]

I joined up and have completed the training.

I wont be as active as im busy with ermm something elce :D

[PhantomLord]

Training completed....that was close sometimes :D Reminds me of some books i´ve read about the "AGRU Front" (Ausbildungsgruppe Front - training flotilla under real live conditions)

Damn aircrafts, patrol crafts, convoy escorts :arrgh!:

[Dowly]

If it tempts the ferret back into a sub it must be good :hmm:

Trust me, it's great! You really should give it a try. :up: It gives you a new kinda fear of 'dying' as if you die, it's over, make a new kaleun or quit alltogether. What would be more scary than come under attack on your 12th patrol? ;)

Cant wait to get to the 29th Flottille and make a new trip to Valletta, I have some unfinished business with them Tommies. :-?

[Jimbuna]

I joined up and have completed the training.

I wont be as active as im busy with ermm something elce :D

:roll: .......................................:hmm:

[mr chris]

Tis a shame that work gets in the way of play.:nope:
Would love to join up and might still do if i can find some time in Dec if not il have to wait till winter next year if your still playing that is.

[Packerton]

I joined up and have completed the training.

I wont be as active as im busy with ermm something elce :D
:roll: .......................................:hmm:

Dont worry I have Seperate installs :up:

[Miss Behavin]

Looks well cool, and sort of nerdy... but... well its not that thats putting me off its the "Must be at 100% realism" part.:down:
By the way Penelope, just wanted to let you know that women are more than welcome there. I've been a member of WaW since WaW 1, currently have three 'female' personas registerd for WaW3, and my sister-in-law plays a barmaid at the 7th flotilla.

Also, (of course it's optional) manual targeting isn't as tough as it first appears and once you feel the thrill of having sunk a target all on your own calculations, you'll never go back to auto-targeting. Try it!! :D

Anyway, come on over!! You'll love it!!

Cheers!

aka: Miss Behavin / Hanna Teichert (WaW), Trudi Hartmann (WaW), and Warda Eisenholtz (WaW)

Come on over! Plenty more targets where that one came from!

[Jimbuna]

Mein Gott...you look like something out of Castle Wolfenstein :o

[Packerton]

Heh Castle wolfenstien, was the only game I played forl ike 5 weeks after it came out :rotfl:

[Miss Behavin]

Mein Gott...you look like something out of Castle Wolfenstein :o
LOL! Yes, you guessed it! That's where I got the image from. I loved that game.

This one is the 'nastier' of my personas over at WaW; good 'ol Warda. She doesn't play well with others. ;)

Cheers!

Well....'Warda' (as in the 'game person') could play with me anytime....she and her cronies were always the hardest to fight....especially in that bloody church ;)

[Packerton]

Are you referring to the Church with the Female Elite soliders and the wierd Demon thunder shooting things :rotfl:

Yeah THAt was nerve racking.

[Jimbuna]

You start outside of the church doors with a panzerfaust and chain gun IIRC.....you end up having to climb the stepladders in the steeple with one of those crazy women throwing stick grenades on yer head :damn:

[Klaus_Doldinger]

Oberleutnant zur See Siegfried Rollmann. Training completed; 7th Flotilla; U 50 Typ VIIB commissioned.

I´m sure this will be fantastic!:yep:

[Heibges]

http://home.comcast.net/~battlesims/wsb/media/265851/site1047.jpg

Orders for Patrol 1 will be issued tomorrow.

Patrol 1 will run until September 24th, so there is still plenty of time to join the war from the beginning.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Cool.

I wish I could sneak away from all my duties and join up to sail under a false name.

Though I think Doenitz would have me shot for deserting the flotilla offices.:cry:

Sink 'em all guys!:arrgh!:

[Dowly]

Ah, just found this pic from the screenshot thread, taken by me during the night of 5-6th of June 1944, WaW I.

Caption says:
Photo taken by U-264 just few hours before leaving Brest to join the other uboats ordered to sink the allied invasion fleet in Normandy. U-264 was sunk on the 7th of June by a Royal Navy destroyers.

IIRC, I came under attack by allied bombers too in Brest shortly after that pic.

WaW = :rock:

Heather, wasnt you the second kaleun from our Flottile to attack the fleet?

[iblitz]

Wolves at War III is officially underway!

Heather, wasnt you the second kaleun from our Flottile to attack the fleet?
Now that you mention it, yes, I was. I still remember how certain I was that I was going to get creamed in there too. Talk about dicey!!! :o

The biggest surprise for me was that I survived it. Ah, the memories.

WaW3 is gearing up to be the best yet!

Y'all be sure to come join. You won't regret it.

Cheers!

Yay!!! Tho, the 1st Flottille orders are wrong, my boat is marked as U-31, but like I stated in the 'reporting in' thread, my boat is the U-21 IIB. ;)

@Heather:

Yeh, you lucky! I took it too risky and went after them troop transports. Was pinned down in the shallow waters and got DC'd. :-?

Hopefully I can join you once my application gets cleared.

[Miss Behavin]

Just a *bump* in case somebody missed it and may be interested.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

[melnibonian]

Have a look at this http://wolvesatwar.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page it explains everything you need to know. You can play with either NYGM or GWX

[melnibonian]

I joined sometime last week and no reponse from them.
Download the Training mission from their web-site and go through it. After you do this post your report on the site and they will give you a U-Boat and orders.

I don't understand why you got confused to be honest :o It's really simple 1. You create an account 2. You report to the 5th Flotilla and download the Training Mission 3. You do the mission 4. You report your results back to the 5th Flotilla and 5. You wait for your orders to arrive.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

Sorry no, I tried manual targeting and I hate it tremendously... It does my head in I find it way too fiddly and irritating to persevere with it. I'd rather leave it to automatic, as in reality inputting a solution into a TDC was the work of two not one.

However you've sold me, I'll come on over and have a peek about. :):up:

I'm not sure how to join...:hmm:

[Dowly]

I'm not sure how to join...:hmm:

Go to the link 'enlist' on the middle nav. bar. It tells you. :up:

[Penelope_Grey]

Saw that... still confused...:damn:

[Penelope_Grey]

Wait no, hang on, I'm getting it....

I shall have a ponder while I'm at the gym.

[Dowly]

Saw that... still confused...:damn:

1. Pick a name (Something germanic)
2. Register to the forums with that name
3. Register to the website with the same name you picked for the forum
4. Once your website account has been activated, login and make new captain (Press the 'Create new captain' link)
5. Input your captain's date of birth, place of birth etc. and change the status of your boat to 'Training' and pick 5th flotilla. Dont input U-# as BdU assigns you the boat and the number after training.
6. Report to the 5th flotilla (forums) and download the training missions.
7. Play the singlemission named 'WaW Training'.
8. Post your war diary of the training patrol to the corresponding thread in the 5th flotilla forum and wait for you to be assigned your combat flotilla (1st or 7th atm) and your boat.

That should get you started. If any questions rises, you can ask, we wont bite. ;)

[Dowly]

Wait no, hang on, I'm getting it....

I shall have a ponder while I'm at the gym.

WHAT!? AND I HAD TO TYPE ALL THAT FOR NOTHING!? :rotfl::rotfl:

[melnibonian]

Come on Peny Join the 7th Flotilla and we'll send the Royal Navy to the Bottom of the Sea GWX STYLE :yep: :arrgh!:

As far as the Manual Targeting is not a problem. I'm not using it as well and it is not forced uppon you. You can use the automatic if you like.

I've read the wiki and I didn't get the answer I was looking for, so I'll ask it here. Is there realtime multiplayer wolfpack action involved, like when you play at ubi.com? Or is it more roleplaying and imagination? (Sorry to put it bluntly.) :88)

P.S.: Sink them all! :up:
