GWX Wilhelmshaven + St. Naz. locks Hochbrückes

Rosencrantz · 02-25-13, 12:08 PM

Hello!

A quick question: Is there many unmarked bridges in Kiel Canal in Wilhelmshaven, St. Nazaire locks -mod (latest version). I'm asking because I just collided with an unmapped Hochbrücke near Rendsburg (about 3000 m east from the site of marked Rendsburg Hochbrücke).

Quick answers appreciated, as I'm underway and there is still about 7 hours to Brunsbüttel. I wouldn't mind run into every unmapped bridge between Rendsburg and Brunsbüttel, nor run at 1x while staying on bridge all the way down...

Btw, if I decide to proceed to Wilhelmshaven and I get moored there for repairs, does this mess up my current torpedo loadout? My homebase is Kiel and I changed loadout a bit before departing for patrol.

Thanks againg for help!

I don't know about the bridges.

For the torpedo layout : Unfortunately yes. Docking anywhere but your home base you will be given the standard torpedo load with no option of changing.

There is only one bridge I remember that you have to wait for it to open to pass. The others are high enough to pass under safely.

But if you're not careful you could run into the supports at high TC.

You are correct sir, you could run into them if you do not use the autoplot, and are self navigating your way in or out.

Ok, thanks guys!

I'll use the autoplot next time. Somehow I hope WO could do something else than just shout out "Schiff gesichtet". You know... like steering the boat - they used to do that - or at least sounding collision alarm...
