Where is HMS Hood ?

[Shadowblade]

Hi, I have read several threads about meeting the Hood in Plymouth (e.g. Sept. 3, 1939). Well, I can´t find her there - when I arrive, I find only small and patrol ships (Aug 27 - Sept 4. 1939). I have tried also arrive and wait for beginnig of war with Britain, but have no luck. I am using GWX 2.1, what happened with Hood ? Was Hood removed or is that some kind of spawning problem ? Are there any conditions when to arrive to meet this warship there?
thnx

Oh she's out there allright, hang out between Scapa and Loch Ewe in 1939 and you have a good chance of finding her

I don't saw HMS Hood at Plymouth sep 3 but she was in this haven 11-25 november 1939.

Here it is...

I had found it in a sunny day, and hited it with two torps... i think so, it must to be more strong, may be i need to edit the files for it.

I need to edit the big gun turrets textures too... after install my last magamod, it adds those light blue gun turrets.

Welcome aboard Kaleun Shadowblade.....I have checked the scripted data layer and the Hood is definitely docked at Plymouth prior to the commencement of hostilities.

thnx jimbuna, but despite several attempts I cant find Hood before war declaration there (maybe British intelligence somehow found my cunning plan and warned Hood ?). So I cant reliable identify her weak spots (those boxes in recognition manual - position and depth settings for torpedoes), this would be easy action in peacetime. Now I am making ambush near Scapa Flow (TF - Hood, with 2 Revenge class BBs) and this info would be very useful for her elimination.

Good hunting Kaleun

ambush was succesfull - I sank her with 2 torps

yes, that is true - later I was very surprised (really ghost ship meeting), when I meet lonely HMS Hood heading to Loch Ewe, so I sank her again

Hi there Shadowblade !
Do you have evidence that you sink HMS Hood

Hi StarLion45, yes I can post this evidence this Friday, if you want it

I'll settle for the ships crest :p

2 torps? Blah.....

Not to spoil the fun of the hunt, but I think the SHIII damage model is seriously flawed when it comes to major warships. Yes, there were occasions when major ships were sunk by surprisingly little orndance (Ark Royal by a single torp, although it was in the worst possible location from the ship's perspective re damage control), but these should be exceptions.

People potting Hood and Rodney and KGV etc with one or two torps gets my goat for some reason.....

You can drop down torpedo power (this will affect all ships) , or you can increase HitPoints and/or armor for battleships... into ship .zon file.

It take time if you need to do to all ships in the game, but to easy to do.

I am doing that now... because i found two torps for a battleship too low, the problem is, when i do it, ship sinks by flooding and dont have those amazing explosions with lot of "particles"
