GWX(?) - Start patrol from u-boot bunker?

Von Hinten · 01-12-07, 03:42 PM

I'm not sure if this is an GWX feature but I've just noticed it since I'm using that great mod, hence the title.

However, what I was wondering is this.

I seem to recall starting from the u-boot bunkers quite a lot and in various Flotilla's and it had some nice and safe 'home' feeling about it. Now after I clean installed SHII with GWX and since I've started my new career, first at Kiel (7th/13th) then moved on to the 2nd Flotilla at Wilhelmshaven and Loriënt, I haven't once began a patrol from inside one of those bunkers, while I think all harbors have them.

Is this happening since I installed GWX? I mean, is this a feature? And if so, is there a way to ... erhm ... well, fix it maybe? It's not that I'm having problems at all, it's just that I miss starting from my bunkers a bit.

I think you've just been unlucky. The patrol bunkers do exist if I remember correctly.

GW changed it so you start at dockside from Kiel, since the bunkers weren't built until later in the war. Wilhelmshaven doesn't have any, at least not in the game.
