New Video - Raid on Dunkirk
 

Here's a video I made which shows a bunch of screenshots I took during a raid on Dunkirk Harbour.

Some people said the last video I made (The Sinking of the H.M.S. Rodney) was like a propaganda film so, even though that wasn't originally my intention, I figured I may as well continue with that genre.

I highly recommend GWX users to drop by Dunkirk around May 29th for loads of traffic and some fantastic air attacks. All the tracers flying up looked great and the sounds were also really good. Only problem was that it turned my FPS down to about 5 when I used freecam, but otherwise it's cool. This isn't for the faint at heart. The water doesn't get any deeper than 30m so if you are discovered you will be dead.

Good luck!

Nice video. The music fit well too.

Great newsreel! I'll take all my crew to watch it . France will no longer stomp on Das Vaterland's soil. The Royal Navy will soon loose the ownership of the seas. U-boats will prevail!!.

Hecka nice vid u make.:up: :up:

Nicely done :up: :up:
Really liked that Bernard joke :D

Marvellous, hillarious... I'm smashed. There is this touch of era in your films... Keep that up!

that was an amazing video mate....i really loved the "pow" "wow" style hits...(kinda reminds the old batman series)...
keep it up:arrgh!:

nice !:up: :up:

Nice video.

But I'm once again questioning the accuracy of GWX's take on this. Was there a harbor at Dunkerque? I thought everyone was taken off the beaches. Were there any 16,000-ton liners involved? I thought it was all small boats and small freighters. And where are the 40+ British and French destroyers that covered the operation?

I know, I whine too much. But I don't think there were any successful u-boat operations there.

Probably not any U-boat success but one can only wonder if a uboat was there what might have happened:hmm:

Nice work...............:up:

May I ask where did you get the IID from? I can only get the IIA ....:hmm:

I really enjoy the music and the commentry:yep:

Very good work:up:

Very good! :up:

Nice one :rock: :up:

Nice one IxM. :up:

Sailor Steve..... in the infamous words of Pat Paulsen, " Pickey, Pickey, Pickey!" ;) ;) LOL

Nice one! For tomorrows breakfast one plate of Stuka eggs for me, if you please! :up:

In the equally famous words of Pee-Wee Herman: "I know you are, but what am I?"
:rotfl:

I could place 40 destroyers around Dunkirk but the player wouldnt get anywhere near the port
Then that would be a waste of scripting it
:hmm:
Tis a balance mate

There WILL be more DD after the update
:rotfl:
No French ones though as we dont have any

Certainly. I'm assuming the dates for sub availability is set via SH3 commander. I was in the Kiel Canal returning to base in my Type IIA. I'd been through here at 128X TC with the auto course plot about 5 times already. This time however I was cruising back home, then black screen of death - "Your sub has been destroyed by a collision".
Now I play DiD but that is crap. You might not ever get to command a sub again but your entire crew doesn't die when you run aground at 8kts. I quit the game but SH3 commander wouldn't let me reload this character. So I started the game without SH3C to load a saved game. After I did this I noticed I could select the IID. I did this and now in subsequent patrols (loaded with SH3C) I still have it but I can no longer select it in the u-boat screen at base.

I guess I really shouldn't have it but I've grown quite accustomed to the little sub now and BDU can have it back when they prise it out of my cold, dead hands.:arrgh!:

There weren't 40 but at one point I had seven or so British and Polish (?) destroyers circling around trying to find me. Once some of the convoys and taskforces start coming into port with all their escorts things do get really hairy.

EDIT - Here's a pic of Dunkirk Harbour I googled but I think this is shortly after the war.

Here's a pic from 1940. Looks like it's still under French control. EDIT AGAIN - Maybe not, are they German soldiers on the right?

I'm no expert on this event but I guess there were too many troops to be moved in too short of a time to be accommodated by this small harbour and therefore the beaches had to be used?
