Tirpitz Guns

ridgewayranger · 03-11-09, 11:43 AM

Hi All,
I must have passed Tirpitz dozens of time but today, starting a new career using GWX 3 I noticed she had no guns. Is she still being fitted out? If not, where did they go? I've checked the file in her sea folder and it seems to be in order.

If it's early on in the war she probably is still being fitted out.

Definitely fitting out. It has been noticed before and Jimbuna even posted a picture, so yeah, she's still under construction early on.

The truth is Goering stole the damn things. He told me he was tired of the neighbors dogs crapping in his yard.

Or they figured that Tirpitz wouldn't need guns as Tommies would just scuttle their ships at the mere sight of Tirpitz. This freed up valuable guns to be brought to bear on such targets as bombers (right, Mr Mayer?

The nearest we can make out is early 41....possibly February:
