Overlord
 

Any GWX users had a chance to patrol the normandy coast on June 6th 1944?

I showed up around 5:00 pm on the 5th.

The largest armada GWX has probably ever known starts marshalling about 5 - 10 km off the coast around midnight to 2 am - then the planes show up. between the bombing, and the random depth charging of the coastal waters i was a dead man by 4am!

might want to make a quick career on june of 44 and go check it out.

sorry if this has BPB

Cool another U-boatman from Texas!

Glad you like it.:arrgh!:

Rubini and BigBoyWooly take a bow!

i was really dissapointed in the stock SH3 when i prowled off the normandy coast out of curiosity and i found practically NOTHING there hehehe

i was going to try and sink what i assume to be the USS Texas on June 6th but two things stopped me

1. I just couldnt sink a ship named Texas :up:

AND

2. The dozens of DDs having their way with me prison shower style sort of got in the way :huh:

Where in Texas are you if i may ask.

<East Tex here

That answers that question at least partly, was wondering whether there was a large fleet on D-Day in vanilla SH3.

Yet another incentive to get gwx!

Ummm, well... I hope you don't mind if I'm not specific about my location in a public forum. You understand.

I have to say... if the U.S.S. Texas battleship is produced for GWX... I will eat my grimy little white hat. :o

Now, that's a challenge for the boys if ever I saw one.;) Get to work lads. I want to see this.:D

Shame that there's no scale but someone might be able to knock this up.(as if):rotfl::rotfl:

I would imagine the guys in the shipping department would shoot me.:oops:

ran across a battleship flying an american flag in the invasion fleet that looked very similar that - i knew the texas was present during the event but it was the only battleship i was close enough to see... so its her by default ;-)

Will have to check this out.........

Ow, what a shame.:cry:

I suspect you saw the Nevada Class Battleship. She's very similar, almost identical.

Page 224 in the GWX Manual.:up:

Overlord must be GWX's greatest tourist attraction for the Last Patrol Club :huh:

Come on you mod guys build this beast so we can sink that sucker. ;)

I don't care about sinking it, I just want to see the Kpt eat his hat.:p

Let's all have a whip round....I'll chip in 10 lashes :rotfl:

Battleship Texas was a busy ship in WW2
