Where R The BIG Boats!!

Hanomag · 08-16-07, 03:34 PM

Greetings Comrades,

I have been playing SH3 since day one. And I have yet to see any warships bigger than a DD. Where R U Big Stuff? Are there any? The ID booklet has pictures of Battleships, Carriers, and Cruisers. Is there someplace I can lurk that has a chance to find one of these elusive ships. Maybe even sink one? Are there places that have a higher chance to spawn them or is it just totally random.

its pot luck...some people can play a whole career and never see a fleet carrier lol. Try raiding scapa flow or loch ewe sometimes if your feeling lucky...might catch some of the big fish at anchor.

I run into them so to say semi-frequently. Even sunk one with a typeII.

Try North and around Norway durring the Norway ops. Plenty of task forces reported. Also durring the Bismark senerio and a few t/f groups N of Lock Ewe now and then. usually a cruiser flanked by merchants in convoys headed into Gibraltar from the S/E from the Atlantic. have you tried the Med.?

The Med is FULL of large surface combatants.

But if you really want to find them easier locate and activate the SPY SAT mod...

Some people call it cheating....oh well....much more fun to torp the BB's and CV's than Tramp Steamers...

In GWX you run into them frequently inside convoys during 39-40-41

Why do I have a feeling of strong warning at the idea of going to the Mediterranea.... Ah yes, Gibraltar!!!!

I have played many careers and only ever seen a battleship, but never sunk one, or even fired torpedoes at one.
