Operation Hartmut

the.terrabyte.pirate · 10-18-10, 09:49 PM

April 9, 1940. Operation Hartmut is getting into full swing.

My Type IID has no way of making Narvik or Trondheim in time to enjoy the festivities, but we could reach Oslo if we punch it.

My question is, is it worth it. I'm all for taking an active role, but if there aren't going to be any targets about I'm happy to skip it.

On top of that historically U-13 was ordered to patrol around the Shetlands according to that great tome of all knowledge and wisdom (wikipedia).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Where and when are the allies going to respond?

You might be able to find a landing force near Bergen.

You didn't say what version of the game you are playing but if it is GWX3 then the answer is....Yes.

Sorry. Yes I am using GWX.

So should I hang around Oslo or Bergen? And how long with the Allies take to respond.

My little canoe is itching for a big plate of Royal Navy for dinner. Something more substantial than the destroyer junk food she's been offered lately.

There are Allied warships and merchants all around the Norwegian coastline but my own personal favourite would be to hang around Narvik and help your destroyers fend of the first Allied attack by destroyers then the second one by the BB Warspite and Swordfish planes.

Observe the times on the top right of each of the shots below.

I'm not going to be able to reach Narvik in time. I'd be lucky to hit Trondheim by the 13th.

Is anything scripted around Bergen and Trondheim?

During the operation, if you do make it to Oslo, all you'll find is an unarmed trawler. And by about 1300, the port would already be secured.
Bergen could be more worth it, but the waters there are very shallow.

I would advise you to simply pick out any escaping vessels around Norway, rather than making for these ports.

Good hunting...
