Help me decide what base...im confused

NipplesTheCat · 10-26-06, 12:57 PM

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.

NipplesTheCat · 10-26-06, 02:10 PM

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 · 10-26-06, 02:39 PM

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?

AVGWarhawk · 10-26-06, 03:38 PM

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!

bigboywooly · 10-26-06, 03:48 PM

1st Flottila
09.35 - 05.41 Kiel
06.41 - 09.44 Brest (France)

2nd Flottila
09.36 - 05.40 Wilhelmshaven (for the first weeks in Kiel)
06.40 - 05.41 Wilhelmshaven/Lorient (France)
06.41 - 08.44 Lorient (France

7th Flottila
06.38 - 09.40 Kiel
09.40 - 05.41 Kiel / St. Nazaire
06.41 - 05.45 St. Nazaire

And the first IXD2 were built 1940-42

NipplesTheCat · 10-26-06, 05:30 PM

Its all becoming so clear now. hehe.

You do get renown for shooting em down but only about 50, unless you get into your config files and mess with the settings.

melnibonian · 10-27-06, 05:31 AM

Still shooting down airplanes is not as easy in GW as it was in the original game

Far more realistic. Whenever a plane apears I dive as fast as I can

Kapitan · 10-27-06, 06:14 AM

I prefer brest or st nazire as its easy navigation out to sea im not used to heavy navigating with the U boat yet but i know full well i can do it in the akula.

HunterICX · 10-27-06, 06:14 AM

I picked the 2nd Flotilla because of the large selection of the VII and IX types
if i,m right they get almost all VII types and the IX types
