Screenshots of the Luftwaffe in action...

dsvet91 · 01-15-07, 05:35 PM

I started a new career after the U-65 was lost on its 5th patrol. So, its April 1940 and I leave Wilhelmshaven tp patrol AN22. after arriving I get a contact report of a stationary taskforce near Trodhiem, Norway. I cruise up for alook and find a task force consisting of 3 DD's, 3 troopships, and a Fiji light cruiser all anchored nice and pretty in a fjord. So, I begin my stalk, since its late evening....I put the three DD's down, then the Fiji. I then start working my way into postion to attack the troopships when I hear the sound of aircraft....so I use the free camera to look around and its a dive bombing attack by Stuka's.

They manage to sink 2 of the troopships before dark set in, and stopped the attack. I then sank the other one, the next morning Me-109's so up to finish the job, but didn't find any targets left. One more reason GWX is so addictive. I can't stop playing this game, you never know what you are going to encounter or be witness to.

Hit!

Pulling out of dive...

Did the Stuka's engage their sirens?
Normally, it happened automatically during a bombing-dive.

yep they do, they aided me in the norwegian campaign by attacking troop transports.
its just wild if u hear the sirene go off

I took out the same task force! I bagged the crusier and destroyers, but the bombers took out the transports before I got there

I saw the Luftwaffe a couple of times outside Norway, where they come to bomb the ships I'm trying to sink. You cannot imagine how many times I thought of shooting those bloody planes with the flak guns for stealing the juicy tanker away from me

Thats very cool, I never saw the luftwaffe in action.

Torplexed · 01-16-07, 02:53 AM

Cool pics. I'd love to see some ME-109s scramble into action when I'm plodding thru Sunderland Alley. It's a shame you can't request aircover. Too ahistorical.

Mooncatt · 01-16-07, 04:41 AM

good find m8. lucky to see that. i havent ever seen summat like that, the only time i been close was at scapa there were lots of badly damaged ships just sat there, i can only imagine there was an air raid.

bigboywooly · 01-16-07, 11:42 AM

Heres one I took while testing Dunkirk

Corsair · 01-16-07, 11:54 AM

Herman's flyboys just spoiled my test... I was near Malta and found a couple merchants at daybreak with a Black Swan as escort. I knew from my sonarman there was also a 2 DD patrol not far away.
As I wanted to make a test about evasion from DD attacks, I sent a torpedo in one of the merchants to draw some attention. 10 minutes later I had all 3 DDs around me, was going 2 knts 120m deep. As this was intended as a test to see how GWX DDs react to various situations, and how good I was at escaping the 3 DDs, I used the external camera to have a general look at the situation.
Then suddenly the DDs start shooting in the sky... A flight of Stukas swoop down all sirens screaming on "my" test DDS, sink one, damage a second and drive crazy the third which starts runnig around at max speed.
No need to say they lost me... Will have to wait for another test...

Jimbuna · 01-16-07, 12:02 PM

To you both...the Stuka shots look great

Never been lucky enough to hear the sirens myself
