HMS Nelson
 

I just encountered HMS Nelson, the first time I've ever come across a capital ship in SH3 :rock:During my second patrol in 1939, I was hanging about Halifax and found this beast lurking within an approaching convoy. Stuck six torps into it and claimed my 36000 tonnes :D Was a beautiful sight

I assume this is GWX's doing :up: Does anyone know any other areas and times to watch out for, I'd love to find some more monsters ... Also, will that remove Nelson from the game or will it just regenerate?

Six torps? Are u using a XXI? Early in 1939?

A VIIB, wasn't too pleasant waiting for the reloads, but the first four went out at 2600m so I had some time and luckily a good officer in at my forward tubes

I thought u were usein a XXI.

The GWX has a multitude of good areas and times. The imersion factor in finding them is partly what makes this game so appealing :up:

The Nelson along with any other warship or merchant will re-spawn once you are approx in excess of 50km away :arrgh!:

that's an awful lot of torps to take out the nelson Iv'e never had to use six ,1-3 torps max.

ANd if the Nelson respawns....Than try again for another kill.

Yeah...if that's your way of playin...why not....personally tho, I try not to go for the 'repeated class' kills :arrgh!:

My bro all ways do that when he play SH3 wit GWX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats not fair tho he get a better comp than me.:nope:

lol...if he's the oldest then one can only presume that 'rank hath it's priveleges' :up:

I keep askin him if I could play on his laptop but the answer is always Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo.
Anyway, He's on vatcation wit his girlfriend at L.A.

You could sink her again but you won't get no credit for and a waste of fish.

Why tho?

It's a shame it respawns, if I encounter it again I'll just bugger off and pretend I never saw it :up: I'd never taken anything like that on before, so I just got off 6 torps and prepared my escape as there were two Destroyer's lurking, could've used those 3 extra torps on tankers but Nelson looked a total beast :D

I'm half way through my third patrol now and I managed to add a Southampton class to my list of scalps :D I'd never seen any of these larger warships in maybe 70 patrols in normal SH3, GWX is class

I doubt if the Admiralty feel that way :rotfl:
