Running GWX 2.1

Ive never made it past 1942, Im too aggressive

Kipparikalle · 06-18-09, 10:15 AM

When I noticed the title, I thought this was for those who survived the real war.

I survived the war, althought not without save/load madness in certain places

The_Blockade_Runner · 06-18-09, 10:47 AM

Yeah, maybe I should have clarified that, but I think most people know what I mean.

Jimbuna · 06-18-09, 10:49 AM

If you mean from commencement to end of hostilities....a couple of times.

Sailor Steve · 06-18-09, 10:59 AM

Never. I keep starting over when I find new mods I like, which is every other week. The furthest I've made before doing that was June 1940.

I guess in game terms that makes me a coward and a deserter.

Twice in stock game, once with GWX2.1 (out of five/six total), Currently on third career with GWX3.0, The previous 2 all ended in 1942.

Right now, I am on my 39th patrol during early 1944. After a harrowing experience with the dreaded Hedgehog (returned with 70% HI), I have decided it's time to avoid all further entanglement with protected convoys. I will spend my considerable renown to purchase TYPE I LAT torpedoes (with two V's for protection) so I can attack convoys from 8,000-10,000 meter away.

Christ, I never survived past my second patrol....EVER!

I finished a career once, but it wasn't DiD and I was sunk a few times. Now I'm playing DiD, currently on my 19th patrol in Oct 42.

Task Force · 06-18-09, 01:20 PM

Plan on finishing the war.

seaniam81 · 06-18-09, 01:23 PM

I did it once playing DiD. I think it was GWX 2. It was a long time ago. Never since

BulSoldier · 06-18-09, 03:23 PM

Well i have never get past the dreadful '42 but on the other hand i played quite a few carrers though i spend quite a time on every single one of them and actually i almosnt havent played the stock and jumped right at gwx 1.3 (ii think) with 100% DiD

.Currently im in base before patrol and it should be dec '40 or jan '41 by the time i start the patrol with my VIIC (or B i forgot

) but i hope i can take type IX, i really like those.The reason i am behind with the renown is the rather mystereous sinking of german vessel near my last reported postition

Platapus · 06-19-09, 08:37 PM

I did it once

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=132844

But won't do it again. From 1944-1945 the game really is not fun to play.

In my future careers I may just stop at Dec 43 and move to another career and perhaps try another sub.

A British plot to besmirch your good name. Just like the time when the British deliberately sunk a neutral ship right in front of me..... yeah.. that's what happened...

sunvalleyslim · 06-19-09, 11:42 PM

Hope to someday accomplish that feat,,,,,but like so many Kaleuns before me, i don't think odds are with me

nikbear · 06-20-09, 06:18 AM

Playing GWX1.03 I got to within 2 months till the end of hostilities,then my HD went tonto on me

Since then updates and new mods have stopped me getting that far again,but I'm determined to finish the careers that I have running now to there natural conclusions, Hopefully to he bitter end
