Jimbuna, I saw the U-Flak June 11th of 43 heading out on patrol from Lorient. Was heading directly south from the mouth of the channel for about 20kms. It was off to my left about 2000 meters. Have patience and you'll see one too...hopefully.

Dietrich, that was a great video. :up: How'd you get one to run? I didn't think they were an option in SHIII. I'm sure more of us would like to give it a try too.

yeah, HT 1.47, or 1.46, i forget which. It's the only what i call "core campaign" mod that has it for some reason. Unified campaign (or UC for short), which in all acutalilty is HT 1.48 doesnt have it. Ultimatly i think both GW and NYGM started with specialized versions of UC as a base foundation and everything built up on it from there. Why AI Ulfak only appears in HT 1.47ish i've no idea. Something that cool, you'd think they'd have ported it into next versions. If it does exist in later versions, i've never seen it.

:o That...was...soooo......coool!!!! Excellent video, mate! I have never managed to get all of my flak guns to be the twin 3,7! Ehhh...how do you do it...? :oops: Do you need the "flak conning tower" thing?:oops::oops:

You need to have a VII with the type 4 conning tower. To get three heavy flack positions, you need to ckick on one of the positions and then selected the heay flack of your choice. Choose the next position and repeat the process to change it and the next.

Then your ready to do some serious hunting!!:arrgh!:

If you are not using any other mods apart from GW, you are probably using high time compression. TC more than 256 will reduce the airplane spawns.

Dietrich...that footage was awesome...thx for sharing :up: :rock:

I still fear the B-24 in the stock game:eek:, they lob the bombs at you from long range and they have plenty of them!! I can get away with 3-4 flak qualified gunners, I just make sure that there is A qualified petty officer at every gun. The Watch Officer also has flack qualifications.

If I'm going duck hunting, I up the ammo for the 37mm, as well as change the amount of ammo per slot (so it fits in the screen!).

It also pays to have the gunners open fire at close range, otherwise when you destroy an aircraft it might crash into you!!:doh:

Select only closing targets if you have multiple tagets. So your shooting at the one on the bomb run, not the one limping away.

Good advices, mates! :up: The problem i had, was that i had just left port, and my ability to maneuver freely was limited...And those B*stard Brits came so quickly upon me... I will try again, trust me! Thanx again! :rock:

Before I installed Gray Wolves so my game was 100% stock
I had a U-Flack (3 sets of guns 4 barrels each) and I would leave my radar on and boy oh boy bring 'em on. Some problems with spitfires but not much, and because of the way the liberators fly it would be difficult to gun down those as they stay too far away
Everything else was fair game....:rock:
I'll try this with GW again...

gord96 04-09-07 01:15 AM

does the U-Flak have much success in GWX?

Jimbuna 04-09-07 05:47 AM

You should always remember that the 20mm quad is lethal, but only to close by and medium range targets.....the 37mm is better suited to long range targets such as Liberators :yep:
