Opinions about GWX Indian Ocean campaign?

Obltn Strand · 02-04-10, 09:47 AM

Yet another u boat I commanded was claimed by cruel Atlantic Ocean. U 44 and her proud crew now focus on housing and provisioning projects for fishes north of Azores. Least we can do now on because british depth charges diminished their numbers so much.

I have criss crossed Atlantic for many carees and it has become too familiar.
So off to the other side of the world to cause some trouble.

Was there some bug with type IXD2?

No, AFAIK all works perfectly in GWX3 with Indian Ocean.

That said, be ready for a very different way of playing. You will be moving around in a big, slow, clumsy U-cruiser, and you better stay away from escroted convoys and areas with lots of aircraft patrolling (Indian coast and Ormuz Strait as well as Cape Town and major Ozzie cities).

Good luck and good hunting

I think the indian ocean campaign only removes ships from other areas so faster load times. No mods should cause any problems but i could be wrong.

But you're not wrong

Indian ocean files remove a lot of Atlantic shipping for load time purposes, if however you're going to do the full tour, starting out in France, sailing to Penang via a Milkcow, you might want to use the full campaign file instead.

If your PC is half decent the load time of the full campaign is not really an issue.

Be aware, the Indian Ocean does still have plenty of nasty Allies to wreck your day...

also, as always, read the manual, it's worth it
