HEH, well i found out last night i overdid it.
See, alot of the convoys tend to hug the coast. Along the coast i put in few large air bases. About 3 acutally. Its enough to cover the approaches of 90% of the coastline from south affrica to saudi to the southern tip of india. Penang is *JUST* outside of air strike range.
Okkaaayyyyyy... seeing 14 damn sunderers was NOT what i was intending. :rotfl: I have sinced turned those down to small US air bases. This is supposed to be the backwaters, not Biscay bay!
That said, i got my hiney kicked from some escorts. One dropped an ashcan right in the pickle barrel on the first run. First time i ever reloaded a game from death. Once i get things dialed in ill probably play Dead is dead.
Im debating if i should try and make penang a german port - thereby hopefully making it full service, or at least set the starting position there.
Convienant yes, but it kills the feeling of operating remotely. So i dont think il do that. Right now you have to make the long jorney to get there, and once your there your on your own. Stay there long enough and your boat will be behind the times in the atlanstic. About the only thing you'll get in penang is fuel and fresh torpedo's, and you can't even choose those, you just get em. (err unless you edit your basic.cfg ahead of time)
