Where are the Yanks? (GWX)

01-18-07, 03:42 AM

I've been on 10 patrols now, spanning mid-'40 to late -'41, and I've yet to see a US-registered/flagged ship the entire time. I used to run across them a lot early in the war, but they seem to have vanished since I installed GWX. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I'm on my second GWX career and I started them both careers in 1942. I've sent lots of seppos to the bottom so far but I have mostly encountered them around their home shores.

Early in the war most US Ships are confined in the US coast. I have seen some around Ireland and in the west coast of Africa, but you have to wait until 1942 to see them in Convoys and in the Atlantic areas close to the UK.

Lots of Americans in GWX.

Hang about the approaches and drool over the lone tankers and hospital ships

I hope drooling is all you do when the hospital ships appear.

I went to the US Coast last night on my IXC (Nov-Dec 1941) and I got tiered of sinking US Tankers. I got my first ever 100K+ patrol

Here is the first US victim of the war. It went down with one torpedo and a few gun rounds.
