What if..?

Besides milkcows, other subs are active hunters or just for atmosphere too?
For example if i report a convoy somewhere, should i wait for reinforcements or im on my own?

If you report a convoy and are within range of a friendly airbase, there's a small chance that you may see an air attack on it. In all my time playing this game, I've only seen it twice. Once on my way to Norway, and once in the Med I saw some Italian planes attack a convoy I reported in. As far as other U-boats, sadly no. That's the one feature that I think is the most glaring omission in SH3.

As was stated before, if you're playing GWX the radio messages from other u-boats mentioning convoys spotted and wolfpacks are purely for atmosphere.

You will on occasion receive messages of historical events that are scripted into GWX.....this is not 'eye candy'

Hmm, so maybe i can change the tide of historical battles to our side, win them and
eventually win the war!

This is the theory at least, im not sure how it will work practically...

The reality being.....whatever you sink will respawn the next time you boot the game up

Lt.Fillipidis · 01-22-09, 12:26 PM

I see...
Well... Im pretty disapointed now...

Jimbuna · 01-22-09, 01:38 PM

Tis always the case I'm afraid.....once out of rendering range it will respawn should you approach again.

Agreed! Reprting a convoy only gets you a reply that you are alone and no help is forthcoming. Unlike AOD where sometimes when attacking a convoy one could see markers of other u-boats attacking the same convoy and sometimes visually.

Seems that what older games lacked in graphics they made up for with depth and features. :hmm:
