GWX(?) - Start patrol from u-boot bunker?

Von Hinten · 01-12-07, 03:42 PM

I'm not sure if this is an GWX feature but I've just noticed it since I'm using that great mod, hence the title.

However, what I was wondering is this.

I seem to recall starting from the u-boot bunkers quite a lot and in various Flotilla's and it had some nice and safe 'home' feeling about it. Now after I clean installed SHII with GWX and since I've started my new career, first at Kiel (7th/13th) then moved on to the 2nd Flotilla at Wilhelmshaven and Loriënt, I haven't once began a patrol from inside one of those bunkers, while I think all harbors have them.

Is this happening since I installed GWX? I mean, is this a feature? And if so, is there a way to ... erhm ... well, fix it maybe? It's not that I'm having problems at all, it's just that I miss starting from my bunkers a bit.

I think you've just been unlucky. The patrol bunkers do exist if I remember correctly.

GW changed it so you start at dockside from Kiel, since the bunkers weren't built until later in the war. Wilhelmshaven doesn't have any, at least not in the game.

I must be getting old really really fast lately. So basically what you're telling is that I missed this update even before it came out? That's a new one ...

bigboywooly · 01-12-07, 09:04 PM

You mean there is an additional update to GWX. I have the Dec update. Is there a Jan update, and where do I get it.

And thanks guys for getting the patrol start from a bunker.

One question. LOL Do we have to back out or just put it in drive and go?

bigboywooly · 01-13-07, 04:12 PM

Drive out Im afraid
Can do you a personnal one if you want to back out of everywhere lol
Actually I think I made Feodosia a reverse job - if you ever dock there in the Black Sea

GT182 · 01-13-07, 07:11 PM

LOL... drive out is fine by me. Thanks BBW.

robj250 · 01-13-07, 07:21 PM

I just love it when we start from a bunker. I think it's neat.
