Sub Pens coordinates ....?

[JScones]

The figures you want are the [m] figures.

But I would recommend that once you move the "base", SAVE the Campaign_LND.mis file.

THEN open it in notepad (or any text editor).

Do a search for "Nazaire" (or whatever base you changed), remembering that there may be numerous entries reflecting the changing of the base throughout the years.

When you find the entry that has Origin=German, look for the Long, Lat and Heading entries in the same block. They will contain the figures you are after. Use them everywhere else.

That's good to know. Thank you Jscones. I always used the last set of #'s (deg) when placing ports and lighthouses. just assumed same would true for naval base .

I'm going to stop giving advice on this subject and let the ones in the know handle it before I have people royally screwing up their files

Well... i was able to do it ...

It is so hard to fit the sub inside the subpen, i use Type IX and it is so long, i cant put the stern so near the wall, and then my bow is visible from outside, and the B-24 detect me and attack me in the correct way, attempting to introduce the bomb across the subpen entry gate.





I need to put the sub 2 or 3 meters back... because my bow is too visible from outside, but i can reach it, a smal movement with the mouse and the stern goes into the wall.





What i cant understand is... why i need to change the coordinates into Flotilla.cfg file ? It works fine without to do it. :hmm:

Here the changes i made for Lorient :

If you don't change Flotilla.cfg, when you play careers and transfer to that base...well...you won't actually get to that base!

Good... i will remember ! many thanks for your help !

This is the damage i receive in that attack, protected by the subpen....



The attack was coduced by 3 groups of B-24 Liberators, one of 7 planes, the second of 5 planes and the third of 7 planes. 7 + 5 + 7 = 19

19.... B-24 attacking port.... imagine when i was without the pen protection.

I am happy now... i can survive, very damaged but survive a masive air raid.

Those B-24 are too inteligent, they attempt to put the bomb across the subpen entry gate. How i hate them, they always catch me at port....

Yep that was why uboat pens had blastproof doors

Well at least you are happy now

Really ? Does they had doors ? I never seen a picture with doors colsed, i was thinking they was "open entry" style.

I will serach on the web to see that

And... yes i am very happy now , i suvive a masive air radid without use my flak gunners rasonably protected by the subpen.

Plus i can dive to periscope depth at subpen to stay hidden.

Now i will wait into the subpen at mission start up, up to the first air raid pass, they happens every few minutes when at port, and tehn when it finished i will run out of port, more real in my opinion...
