D-day in GWX

Heffalump · 08-03-09, 03:31 PM

Has anyone had any experiences with the D-day landings in GWX 3?

I'm based in Brest and it's May 1944. As I remember from reading Iron Coffins a number of boats were scrambled from there to attack the landings, and I thought I would do my duty and have my go, even though it's probably a 1-way ticket for me.

I had! I was waiting submerged near Calais.. when D-Day started, I had a lot of sonar contacts. I tried to sunk some landing ship, but in those shallow waters it's pretty a suicide.. DDs are very alerted!

I'd give it a swerve if I were you. Dunkirk was bad enough. Got shot up by some pesky little yellow torpedo boat.

Dunkirrk was a fortune evacuation, D-day an invasion!

In GWX I saw aircraft carriers there, and large landing ships!

I was unlucky with dunkirk... to many ships around and kept crashing. Still have not arrived to the '44; it'd be tough I think...

If those DD's get even a whiff of you, you'll be dust.
