GWX 3 and Scapa Flow

Freiwillige · 09-28-09, 12:25 AM

Is there any way to position the Royal Oak into her historic place in Scapa Flow Oct. 14th 39'? And add a few other ships that were there and Prien missed? Prien had been heading for 4 Warships with 1 being the light cruiser Belfast but had not seen them when he did an about face and spoted the Royal Oak. So does anybody know exactly what ships were there and their location?

I always hit Scapa if my patrol puts me out around this time and ive found that the Royal Oak is about 1 to 2 miles west of her real position in GWX3.

I would like to simulate the actuall attack to historic records. Thx!

The mission editor will allow you to do that quite easily.

I'm at work right now but if you do the research I'll create a single or multiplayer mission for you.

Thanks Jim, I am looking into it but honestly info is scarce on the placement of other vessals

But I have found many maps sighting the location of the Royal Oak and that should be easy. In fact using the game map Ive concluded that the GWX Royal Oak is off by 4 to 6.5 kilometers! Also the tender Pegasus war parked behind her a bit north.

So far the best info I have found is here
