Wolfpacks in GWX

cultist · 07-07-07, 11:53 AM

Is this an option?I sure wish it is,since it was a great german sub tactic in 43-44 as i recall.
Ps can`t get over that training course in torpedoes,i run out of torps,or one ship didn`t sink,or i lost track of 3 of them.I wan`t to know what awaits for me when i will actualy begin my career,and by God i won`t begin it unless i finish my exams excelling.

There are AI U-boats. When you see a round convoy symbol, it means U-boats are messing with it. Good luck with the academy. See you soon in the high seas!

I seen conveys supposedly attacked by wolfpacks in the SH3Commander, GWX mod campaign but I don't think you can actually see them in action, just see the effects of one happened. Either that or I am drinking too much coffee.

There are AI U-boats scripted into the game that will attack convoys....sometimes they are in sufficient numbers to be classed as a wolfpack...I have a picture somewhere which I'll fish out for you

Jimbuna · 07-07-07, 12:38 PM

There you go...you'll notice that the furthest sub is already being fired upon by the convoy

Rabiddwarf · 07-07-07, 12:45 PM

That's awesome, the convoy I saw had lots of bunrning ships with some of them having torpedo marks on their side. Though no other u boats were in the area.

GoldenRivet · 07-07-07, 12:49 PM

no other u-boats fire torpedoes. i really hope to some day see a mod in SH3 that has PT boats, Schnell boats and AI subs fire torpedoes somhow or another.

I have found a wolfpack of 4 subs moving around off the coast or portugal. joined them for a few days, even sent a contact report after breaking off from them and i was only about 40 km away from them and they never responded. didnt think they would - just curious though.

well that counts as a semi wolf pack
anyway this is super!!!,i compare it to the il-2 wwII plane sim

man,i`m fat.
Godspeed!

some days ago, I found a very nice convoy and when i was ready to fire some torps, 3 or 4 of them exploded.... i said: "what the hell????

" Then I realized there were 2 more u-boats at the party and had started the dancing already. They made things easier for me, because they sunk the small ships at the side of the convoy and the only escort. I had a clear line of sight to the big ones...

2 C3's, 2 pyros and 3 T3's made my day. After that, i dived and broke contact... I suppose my colleagues took care of what was left (only 2 or 3 small cargo ships).
I am learning to appreciate this unexpected kind of help that shows up from time to time.

What you've come across there is a convoy that's already been mauled off AI subs

Vulfpecks are the naz in quadrant BE during '40-'41. I drop everything to join in one of those. Spend all of my ordnance, but fulfill my patrol obligations to assure a successful mission. Disappointed that I've read renown is not awarded for Contact Reports.

And it would have been nice if Ubisoft had incorporated a Meteorological assignment to the sim, that is being posted as a Weather boat. An interesting activity for roleplay when you don't have torpedo or shell one.
