La Rochell...

Don't know if this has come up before and I couldn't find anything in the search, but why are patrols not from La Rochelle?

Because the 3rd Flotilla isnt in the game

If you use GWX there is an optional 3rd flottila mod that was made for W@W
Cant seem to find the link at the mo

Poor Sailor will have it though as it was at his request we did it

This one?

If so, a link to it is out here:

Under "Optional Mods" just below the lowered antennas.

Thanks for the link Genferret , but I'm not too sure if I want to replace the 11th Flottilla with the 3rd. I thought it would have been good to add it in the game.

I have the mod but don't use it at the moment. If I ever decide I want to be ported in LaRochelle then I'll add it in when I start that career. I have a feeling that the loss of the 11th up in Norway won't affect me too much working out of France. It only replaces the 11th until the mass exodus of U-boats from France to Norway in late '44 anyhow. At that point the 11th comes back if I'm reading it correctly.

Just FYI, U-96 was acutally in the 7th flotilla, not the 3rd as the movie would lead you to beleive. Infact. U-96 never entered la rochelle after that the failed gibralter attempt at all.

7th patrol, she put in to St Nazzire.

Correct.
