GWX Biscay air patrols

The scr files can be misleading; the Bay of Biscay becomes a nightmare starting in 43". At the beginning you can at least move out at night, later long range bombers with sonar start showing up will keep your boat going up and down all day and night for a day or two just to get into the air free zone or convey areas. If you launch from Bordeaux you don't really have to worry much about the aircover being so far south.

Does the "Piening Route" work for trying to minimize exposure to aircraft in the Bay of Biscay in GWX?

Just wondering - I've never made it to 1943 in a career so far

Cheers,

I have tried GWX with the new campaign layers, tried even to fix it myself, but
still I have no air cover over Biscaya. I can ride in the surface untouched.
Is it possible to fix this thing?

What year and what time compression are you using?

U-Falke · 11-11-11, 12:41 PM

1944 tc of 256 to 1024.
I will try to put it to work on XP... hope it works

For TC>128 aircraft won't be spawned, if I remember correctly.

I do believe you are correct sir.

Not exactly but there is a sizeable/noticeable drop in the instances.

The biggest bug bear whilst adding and testing the air campaign was the fact that those that do spawn are on top of you before the game engine could react.
