Around the world...

Is it possible to go around the world in SH3? I fully realize that you would need unlimited fuel on and a very high TC but is it even possible.
Just once I want to sink a Jap like I used to do in SH1.

Good luck and good hunting.

Your gonna need it if you try. Oh, and I hope you find lotsa resupply subs too. Your definately going to need them. There are no shortcuts.

Yes its possible. Although the pacific is totally bare of any traffic. The farthest traffic is along the eastern australian shore and only a few units at that. Past that, it is a great big empty slate.

With Grey Wolves theres traffic in the south Pacific, a few nice tramp steamers around South Australia :p

Might be interesting plooting the original Maghellans voyage around the world and see how long it would take in a sub!

Biggles · 11-08-06, 09:55 AM

How long will it take for a IIA....on ahead slow?

Now I use GW and I asked this before and I was told you can't you can go as far as that bit were the USSR meets Alaska and that's it am sure you can't circumnavigate the world.

Can't do it. On the other hand you can do it at ahead standard (or flank) if you use the nuclear power option: turn off limited fuel.

If you travel through the Panama canal in a IXD2 at low speed and refuel in Penang, maybe it can be done? I will plot the course and ask my navigator next time I play the game.

You can put some ships in pearl harbour and visit this place in 7-december 1941!

JSalinger · 11-08-06, 11:12 PM

That would be cool (to visit Pearl Harbor)! And you can't go through the Bering Strait? *frowns* I didn't know that...what about the Northwest Passage?

Biggles · 11-09-06, 06:46 AM

I still think that since the worldmap is flat, it means that you can't go from, let us say, California, to Australia. That's to bad if you ask me.....
