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?

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.

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.

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.
