Task Force: 0 U-338: 2!

I recently switched to the Med also (playing GW 1.1). I find there are not so much convoys (only encountered one), more single ship contacts, especially between Tobruk and Alexandria. In feb 1942, I encountered a Task Force , consisting of 3 BB's a Dido and several DD's near Alexandria within striking range. They dissapeared when they came within 20 km of the port though.....

I can only remember how it feels when an Revenge Battleship hits me with 21 knts on my conning tower......my SO was too tired (forgot to switch him) and I lost sound contact so I popped up the scope but it was to dark so...I lowered and went back into the commander room and Just when I wanted to go to the crew management I heard screws...and a hard CLOING!! !BANG!!!

Holy (BLEEP), I press the free cam and there it was...the revenge battleship...turning his lights on , I'll bet he heard something...but that was really embarrasing

Great reading and thanks for sharing everyone

.

Im still to encounter a task force, battleship, aircraft carrier in this game :hmm: .

I have played it all the way through once and I am now playing it again after a six month break as I single again YIPPEE and I can do what I want, when I want. Which means I can play SH3 till early hours of the morning and I wont get into trouble from anyone

.

Anyway hopefully soon I will be lucky enough to come across a task force like all of you

There are task forces all over the Med. On my first patrol in Dec 41 I must have come across 6 or 7, 2 of which were Itallian fleets (Running GW) The Med seems to be full of warships but not alot of merchants. For my second patrol I raided the base on Malta and I just finnished raiding Tobruk on my third patrol.

OK thanks for that I will make a note of it along side all my other SH3 notes

.

Im still in 1940 atm and I am not playing with GW just my own selected mods.

Going to play with GW after I play this one all the way through

NYGM med is also one tough challenge with angry allied fleet action and the merchant convoy routes are altered to have trafic in different places too not only in the SHIII vanilla 1 convoy route. No 3 week passages in empty seas in the Med. Lots of shoot and hide action. Highly recommend the med to be played to get some different feel to SHIII especially with NYGM or GW.
