Help me decide what base...im confused

[NipplesTheCat]

I need to start a new carreer and I would like to start with a VIIC or VIIB (with the ability to upgrade to a VIIC). Am I correct in assuming that if I start in the 2nd flotilla that I will start with a VIIB but be unable to upgrade to a VIIC? Im clearly a little confused by all of this if someone could help me out.

That should answer all of your questions.

Thats the link ive been looking for, but it keeps timing out. Is that info posted anywhere wlse that you are aware of? Also since I have installed the GW Supermod and tried to start a new carreer both the 7th and 1st flotillas are based out of kiel in 1939 even though it says that the 1st should be out of Wilhelsmshaven. Is there a bug or am I missing something? Thanks.

Ah thank you. Thats what I was looking for. Am I the only one that cant get that page to load? Whats the deal?

[NipplesTheCat]

Still cant figure out why with GW Supermod the 1st and 7th flotillas are based out of Kiel in 1939. Anyone else had this problem? Also, isnt it possible to get an IXD or IXD2?

I don't know about the two bases in '39'. As far as the U-boats....you need to earn those swab! You get these through earning renown and it helps if you know Donitz personally Anyway, you get renown for sinking enemy vessels. Friendly and neutral vessels give you negative renown. Going all the way back to your home port gives you renown. I do not believe shooting down airplanes gives you renown but it is fun!

I started in the 2nd Flotilla Saltzwedel out of Wilhelmshaven with a VIIB. I have completed two patrols. (TGW)

I looked at the choices for a transfer and it tells me two Flotillas - Weddigen and Wegener. But I don't know where those Flotillas are based.

I want to get to St. Nazaire as soon as I can, but I don't know what Flotilla that is.

Should I stay at Wilhelmshaven in the 2nd Flotilla for the time being?

I really don't want to get transferred to Kiel.

I want to get patrols in the North Atlantic, but from Wilhelmshaven I have to go over the top of the British Isles. I'm not going through the Channel.

Also. if I wanted to attack a port, which is the easiest?

@ Rob
The 7th Flot Wegener goes to St Naz in around Sept 1940
You cant transfer till 3 patrols anyway so the choice is yours mate

@BBW

Thanks for the info.

I looked up the Flotillas in Uboat.net and it doesn't even list Weddigen or Wegener.
