D-day in GWX
 

Has anyone had any experiences with the D-day landings in GWX 3?

I'm based in Brest and it's May 1944. As I remember from reading Iron Coffins a number of boats were scrambled from there to attack the landings, and I thought I would do my duty and have my go, even though it's probably a 1-way ticket for me. :lost:

I had! I was waiting submerged near Calais.. when D-Day started, I had a lot of sonar contacts. I tried to sunk some landing ship, but in those shallow waters it's pretty a suicide.. DDs are very alerted!

I'd give it a swerve if I were you. Dunkirk was bad enough. Got shot up by some pesky little yellow torpedo boat. :down:

Dunkirrk was a fortune evacuation, D-day an invasion!

In GWX I saw aircraft carriers there, and large landing ships!

wow i wouldnt think that would have even been simulated in the game

I was unlucky with dunkirk... to many ships around and kept crashing. Still have not arrived to the '44; it'd be tough I think...

If those DD's get even a whiff of you, you'll be dust.

D-Day is not for the faint hearted. I've tried it on a few occasions and can't remember every surviving. In some cases I've never even gotten close without the escorts coming and dropping all kinds of underwater hell on my boat.

If you time it right you can even see the Higgins boats running up the the shore.

its cool to observe it from a distance with the free cam.

however one false move and your ass is grass and the allies are the lawn mower :nope:

nowhere to run, nowhere to hide... ZERO options for escape or evasion... you are just a steel tube full of dead men.

Thanks for the warnings!!

I think somewhere I've read about problems loading save games near so many scripted operations. Anyone had problems?

Nope. I have heard of people having problems with loading saves made when submerged, but that's never been a problem for me either.

obviously a lot of thought has gone into this great game seemingly more than we could have imagined great stuff.:yeah:

BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

if youve read iron coffins..then you will know its a suicide mission....

i still shudder when i read the line in the book

"all boats proceed to landing sector -sink allied shipping- with the eventual outcome of ramming-for boats without schnorkel-this it the last mission"


whats the german word for kamikaze:down:

Suicide is Selbstmord, but I'm not sure if they actually used the term :hmmm:
