Ports worth visiting
 

I'm curious as to what ports are worth a look at to catch capital ships asleep?

I see lots of people visit Scapa, are there any others that are visited by capital ships?

In my first 4 patrols of my GWX campaign i sunk the Hood, Illustrious and Rodney but haven't seen anything since. I'm going to upgrade to IX boat soon but wouldn't mind hunting some more capital ships before then. Any suggestions?

Stix,
I would love to know where you found thoes big battle waggons.:yep: :yep:
I have never found anything that big in my career game in either GWX or GW1.1a.

Lock Ewe almost always has a sleeping Nelson BB.

Guess it was just my luck cause when I raided it, I got nothing but destroyers lol

Is this in GWX i know it all ways spawned there in GW1.1a but i thought GWX fixed this:shifty: :hmm:

interesting

what part of this thread specified GWX?

Just that Stix said at the top in his post that he was running GWX.

if you really want to know what's in some ports,
you should contact the office of Naval Intelligence.

In other words

run Sh3gen.

I never leave port without it:yep: But what you get depends on the settings you use.

The Hood and Illustrious where up around AN 11 North West of scapa on the edge of the shelf (I try not to patrol shallow waters) very early in the war. I lucked on to both by picking up the taskforce sound contacts with no "taskforce report". The Rodney was travelling in a convoy reported by Bdu.

Stix

yes

with that, were back to the old ballance bit
of playability vs 100000% realism.

You can get complete information
or you can get some partial information
as you choose to play.

Thanks mate i will have a look on my way back to base and way out on my next patrol.:up:

Aye it is a fine balance mate:up:

I don't run SH3 commander or sh3gen. Prefer to go where i'm told, always good to pick up the latest gossip on ship movements around the bars before heading to sea though. I don't trust those naval intel guys.

also has the hood there in sept 39

Time for a new career!!

In early war, (must be in the right time in 1939~1940), scapa flow, firth of forth, liverpool (never, never, too many minefields+patrols),...

Later war, NEVER. Capital ships NEVER dock at ports, but goes with task force. You may be able to inflitrate a base with a Light cruiser and several landing ships, troop transports, and other stuffs with Harbour Traffic v1.47 mod which I used before GWX.

WARNING, ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE PREYS ARE JUICY (I prefer landing ships first since they must go down with 2 fish, with appox. 300 renown falls on my hand), NEVER SURFACE, since TROOP TRANSPORTS OWNS 6 GUNS and a lot of MGs. The Cruiser, of cause the more. I once died due to the greedy mind

You can never sunk all of them, as you don't own enough fish (even XXI is not adequate if u use duds and the weather is no good)

Yes the Hood is there for 5 days in Sept 39

I happened across the hood on it's way there in 39, just luck i guess :)

EVERY TIME!! :up:
