GWX just converted my sub to a coastal gun?!

astat333 · 10-03-07, 05:09 PM

using GWX, i anchored at that Axis port west of Tobruk to refill torpedos and fuel.
after resuming the mission, my sub was deployed like 50 meters off the coast - on the wrong side of it, unfortunately!!
so i now have 46 dead sailors and a destroyed sub lying on the beach..

sure it's a known issue - what should i do? :p

Maybe the Afrikakorps wanted to use your 88mm as a PAK to shoot Monty's tanks.

Because Tobruk is not a proper scripted base you run the problem to have adverse effects when you dock there. Ideally if you want to refuel in a friendly base it will be better to do it somewhere that it's scripted in game (i.e. there is a Flotilla attached to it).

I think mel might have meant use a base where there is ideally a flotilla based or a supply ship scripted.
Some of the neutral/friendly ports that are non regular, are so small that the sub ends up as part of the fixtures (as in your case).
After GWX is released I will post a typical yet humorous screen shot to show precisely what I mean

Are you using GWX 1.03 ?
