Thanks. I'll have to crank up a IX career and take a cruise over there to see if I can find one. I've tended to stay in the sun recently so feel like a winter holiday cahsing icebergs.

someone mentioned somthing like a whale factory (or somthing like that) but i didnt found it

TarJak 05-06-07 11:31 PM

I think he meant Jan Mayen whaling station which is marked that way in GWX 1.03 but I'm not sure if it's marked in stock or other mods.

i play stock (patched up to 1.4b) WAC and GWX :rock: il check it right away

In GWX it is called Batvika Whaling Station (German map) :arrgh!:

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr 05-07-07 06:30 AM

thanks for the information mates :up:

Jimbuna 05-07-07 06:42 AM

My mistake.....Batvika Whaling Station is in fact what other people call Jan Mayen Island. :oops:
Bear Island is on the map but it is just a land mass, there is no port there :up:

Dowley; cool screen. Looks like the boat found some huge ice-cream cones :cool:

Just for conversation, and I don't mean to hijack a thread, but what is the facination with ice-bergs beyond a cool eye-candy appeal? To me it is like the interest of wanting to sail into NY to scope the statue of liberty. To be fair I guess maybe if you've seen these things up close then there isn't a high appeal to see them in a game.

For the same reason we put new ships, aircraft, 3D objects, realistic graphics, improved sound, biologicals, corrected player U-boat 3D models and everything else we did.

Part of realism is presenting a realistic, living world.

That means having icebergs in the ocean.:88)

Before GWX they were unavailable as well, due to being broken.

Love this stuff
 
Yeah i was bored and didnt want to do a paper so i created a crazy SP mission.

It included 5 liners, 10 tank transports, 3 Aircraft Carriers and a few Didos.
And it had a whole bunch of Massive Icebergs ansd some smaller ones. I had all the ships running at Flank Speeds, heading towards the icebergs. I dived down and went below the icebergs, safely away from any sinking ships. It was fun to watch as the ships scrambled to evade the icebergs. Some of the liners hit the bergs and the other ships, i got bored with that so i went to PD and sank sank the warships and finished the rest with the deck gun, then i dived and started ramming the ice berg and sank haha
