Overlord

GoldenRivet · 04-03-07, 10:46 PM

Any GWX users had a chance to patrol the normandy coast on June 6th 1944?

I showed up around 5:00 pm on the 5th.

The largest armada GWX has probably ever known starts marshalling about 5 - 10 km off the coast around midnight to 2 am - then the planes show up. between the bombing, and the random depth charging of the coastal waters i was a dead man by 4am!

might want to make a quick career on june of 44 and go check it out.

sorry if this has BPB

Cool another U-boatman from Texas!

Glad you like it.

Rubini and BigBoyWooly take a bow!

i was really dissapointed in the stock SH3 when i prowled off the normandy coast out of curiosity and i found practically NOTHING there hehehe

i was going to try and sink what i assume to be the USS Texas on June 6th but two things stopped me

1. I just couldnt sink a ship named Texas

AND

2. The dozens of DDs having their way with me prison shower style sort of got in the way

Where in Texas are you if i may ask.

<East Tex here

That answers that question at least partly, was wondering whether there was a large fleet on D-Day in vanilla SH3.

Yet another incentive to get gwx!

Ummm, well... I hope you don't mind if I'm not specific about my location in a public forum. You understand.

I have to say... if the U.S.S. Texas battleship is produced for GWX... I will eat my grimy little white hat.

Now, that's a challenge for the boys if ever I saw one.

Get to work lads. I want to see this.

Shame that there's no scale but someone might be able to knock this up.(as if):rotfl::rotfl:

USS Texas 1944

Kpt. Lehmann · 04-04-07, 02:53 AM

I would imagine the guys in the shipping department would shoot me.

ran across a battleship flying an american flag in the invasion fleet that looked very similar that - i knew the texas was present during the event but it was the only battleship i was close enough to see... so its her by default ;-)

danlisa · 04-04-07, 07:01 AM

Will have to check this out.........

Ow, what a shame.

I suspect you saw the Nevada Class Battleship. She's very similar, almost identical.

Overlord must be GWX's greatest tourist attraction for the Last Patrol Club

Come on you mod guys build this beast so we can sink that sucker.

danlisa · 04-04-07, 08:34 AM

I don't care about sinking it, I just want to see the Kpt eat his hat.:p
