GWX campaign questions

[maurice076]

Hello fellow submariners,I've played SHIII vanilla for a while,now thanks to this forum It's now GWX3.0 for meI have been reading all I can,when I can,but I still come up with the odd question once in a while.

I started over again,now I'm on my third patrol and have read the gwx manual,for the most part.It says the ships Gneisenau and Scharnhorst are scripted in the game.Operation Berlin has started,I am near their actual routes taken.Will I find them+should I help them?I'm almost sure but not 100%.Thank you for your help.I'm sure I'll have more Q's in the future.

I'm still trying to figure out another one.Same patrol-looking for the Gneisenau+scharnhorst,I arrived at the Belchan supply ship,I'm pretty sure they stoppd here too.I was wondering should I refuel+reload while waiting for them?

Thanks for any help.


p.s. Stopped at Reykjavik and took on some convoys.Much FUN.

Due to my preference to keep patrols under 3 weeks, I rarely have a need to refuel and reload, and that I beleive may make you miss the warships. I know the battle of the denmark strait is takes place where it should in GWX...So I see no reason why you wont find your ships.

Cheers mate, and welcome to the grey wolves!

Thanks Tabbyhunter,I havn't found them yet-visibility also poor-but still looking.I thought it would be neat to help them out.I couldn't figure out SH3commander so my resupply will take 20 days.They will be south of me working their way to the Freetown area,The weather should be better down there anyway.

Now when I resupply it ends my patrol,which is O.K. because I only had 2 torps.I will be awarded for further kills when I return to base right?I never resupplied before so want to make sure.Again thanks for any help.

On the Commander link for parameters it lets you set the days for Random or pick the exact number of days you want. Do you have the latest (3.2) version of Commander? Any time you use a supply ship it automatically makes it one day, plus any you need for repairs.

Thanks Sailer Steve,I couldn't get it installed,so I started a campaign without it.Wish I spent more time trying...Still learning(everyday)about computers.Didn't have these when I went to school.Very Happy+proud I figured out GWX.I'll keep reading,maybe one day lol.

Tried to catch the Gneisenau+Scharnhorst down by the Cape Verde Islands to help out,but no go.Found a convoy and having my way with them now just south of Canary Islands.

Oh, sorry. I thought you meant you just couldn't get that one part to work. That's what I get for thinking.

If you want to try again later I'll be glad to help any way I can.

They are indeed both scripted in and here they are leaving Kiel at midnight on 22nd January 1941.

[maurice076]

Thanks Jimbuna excellent proof.I was thinking of heading to Kiel to make it easier to find them,but coming out of St Nazaire I thought I could find them by Iceland.I'm still learning alot,and rereading the manual to do things other than attacking convoys.Currently:April 29, 1941 just east of Dublin causing havoc,waiting for something bigger to be a part of.Trying to figure out which radio reports are just eye candy so not to waste fuel.

All reports with Lat & Long are eye candy. That should help some.

Your welcome...you could view the scripted campaign layer in the mission editor (as I did above) to give yourself some idea of what to expect but that might be an immersion killer.

One of my favourite areas early on is the Norwegian campaign, here you can get a crack at some RN destroyers and even the BB Warspite if your lucky.

Oh thanks to both of you.Crew getting out of their bunks now,be back in action in a few hours
