Is this part of the stock game or GWX 3.0?
Haven't seen one yet, but this is cool.
Is there a specific area where they show up?
Didn't see any when I was around Iceland in April '41, of course, didn't see much anyway with all the crash diving from aircraft.

You can usually find icebergs up near the arctic regions of the map, or around the northern convoy lanes. (Check the pullout map in the top-left corner to see where the lanes are)

Just be sure NOT to stray to close to the north pole.
There's an invisible energy field there which prevents anyone from entering.
Must be aliens...

My biggest curiosity was the fact that they apparently had spotted me and were zig zagging to avoid attacks. For what reason would the icebergs be self propelled and react to my presence? I thought that SH3 (even stock) had icebergs as simple stationary no AI objects.

I'm pretty sure the ones I encountered were movind.

Yours must have been trained by the admiralty though.
Interesting stuff.
