Sub Pens
 

Wouldn't you think by at least the 40's that the sub bases would have sub pens built to house the submarines?

Rob are we talking Sh3 or GWX here?

This might be of interest to you Rob :up:

Thanks, so there were bunkers.

I'm playing SH3 Mel.

Why, does GWX have bunkers in it on the bases?

In GWX there are bunkers but if I remember correctly you cannot start a patrol from them. Something that will be corrected at some point I guess :hmm:

Sub pens/bunkers are all over the place in stock SHIII, the only problem is that they're always empty.

If I remember right, my very first patrol started in a bunker. I think it was before the 1.4 patch.

It is possible to start patrols from bunkers in GWX

Cant recall which ones though
Brest is definately one

Thanks for that BBW :up: I haven't played a proper patrol in GWX for ages. Too much Beta Testing and Workload;) :arrgh!:

Same as mate
I only start the game to test it

Don't forget the AA flack on the top :arrgh!: :up:

Well I made a few adjustments, and I just started my 11th patrol with U-245 which is a VIIC/42 from a bunker at Bergen. Neat looking.:up:
