Does GWX 3.0 simulate Operation Drumbeat (Ops against Americas) and if so what Flotilla should I be in to take part in it? Im currently at July 1940 and if memory serves me Op drumbeat didnt start until 1941.

Very end of '41, in fact. Hitler declared war on the US on December 11, my dad's 13th birthday.

If you transfer to Wilhelmshaven in 40 a IXB will be available.

When you select it and France becomes German ports you will be transfered to Lorient.

BEWARE You have to drive it there. No Teleport.

If you don't want to wait there is a single player Drumbeat mission in GWX that I've played a couple of times. If you use SH3 Cmdr & want to play it choose the 2nd Flotilla, January 1942 and an IXB boat. It's not bad, good way to kill an hour or two.:up:
