Default GWX Georgios Averof

Anyone ever found this unique and legendary warship in GWX or even sank it? I had two careers in the med and never came across this pride of greece.

To figure out where to find her, you'll need to read the GWX manual :

"The Armored Cruiser RHS
Georgios Averof in GWX

The Georgios Averof will conduct operations consistent with her historical deployments. "

This pic has been taken at Port Said, no doubt. That is one CA location, another is Port of Alexandria. Nice photo .....

Hmm, the problem is that the ship was based in Bombay, doing convoy escort duty from august 1941 to october 1944
And a med career goes from.... October 1941 to August 1944.
So if GWX did model this accurately theres no chance i'm going to see her, unless it comes in a convoy through the med.

Or if I slip through gibraltar in Oct. 1944 and raid Port Said...


This ship is like an iceberg to me: I know they are both out there but i just can't find them.

If you're really fast you can catch it in April-May 1941 during the evacuation of Greece Otherwise you'll need to search hard, but I can tell you the final result is worthy of all the efforts

To explain my obsession with this ship:
It's the only warship i've ever saw in real life. Although that was 8 years ago i still find it great that she was included in GWX.

I'll guess i'm going on a hunt in my next career. My current boat isn't really suited for raiding ports or passing gibraltar. (see sig)
