Type II/D Hunter-Killers!

FIREWALL · 02-10-09, 01:22 PM

I'd like to see some single missons like this added to the great GWX Gold lineup.

Maybe not realistic but, still will give you that tense " gut wrenching fix " we love and need.

How about it ?

it is a ton of fun. and with no tonnage worries its a different way to approach the game. I edited the basic.cfg so I can get 6 eels in the boat as the voyages are rarely more then a few days. Most destroyers can only handle one good shot anyways!

as jim said...u just gotta love em...like to sail out of france in a type II, and head to AM, and attack a convoy, easily evade the escorts and get home in time so that my crew can celebrate their victory with some french drinks and women.

lol

Hey, if you're going to do something ahistorical, give yourself a good reason! I suppose when I have a IID captain mid-war I'll be getting similar orders.

You bet! I had to make a reason why I was still in this little canoe. It can get quite tense when your about to attack a destroyer and he gets a whiff of you and turns sharply at ramming speed. You can either dive or grit your teeth for a head-on game of chicken. If you miss your shot, you are pretty much toast.

Best way to play this way is starting in July 1941. That way you are already in Brest so you have easy access to the channel and Irish Sea.
