In GWX 3 there is a large net that stretches from the northern pier roughly NNW and screens the 3 cruisers and assorted destroyers moored to the north of the harbour.

However there is a gap between the pier and the net just large enough to slip through

Rgr, any mines... (ill just set my torpedos to run on the surface.) Im currently cruiseing in at 2 knots. no one knotices anything strange.

I seem to recall a post a time back where a player was lamenting that he didn't get credit for a battleship he sank in Gibraltar, because the water it settled it was too shallow for it to sink fully. I guess the moral of that story is aim for the ammo bunkers and try to destroy any major warship you find in shallow water instead of going for a simple flotation kill.

yep, look what I found.

Just waiting to be turnt into a fireworks show.

Synthfg · 06-13-09, 05:12 PM

Have hit the Nelson in there before,
Aim for under B turret and she'll go up

Haven't seen any mines when I've been in there but then I normally cross from the vicinity of Getares (why does the battery there in neutral Spain fire at me ?) aiming for the long pier jutting to the west

Task Force · 06-13-09, 05:16 PM

my plan... hit nelson, then go for the cruisers, Then raise hell in the port with the merchants then go out the way I came in.

The patrols dont seem to be too smart, and ive seen no aircraft.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 05:20 PM

found a sub net altiile south of the port.
could someone look at the campaign file for me, the date is july 3 1941. Im useing GWX 3

Task Force · 06-13-09, 06:07 PM

All right. im in, getting ready to pass the sub nets to get to the curisers.

When General Sherman said: War is cruelty and you cannot refine it, he might have been speaking of games too.

Yea... I still can believe... 1 hour of sneaking into that port and not getting cought by distroyers... then boom, a CTD.:rotfl:

Torplexed · 06-13-09, 07:48 PM

I'm trying to sneak into Tobruk harbor right now. I'm gonna be back-up saving with every creak and groan the boat makes.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 08:04 PM

Lets hope you dont get tht but that distroys your boat when you reload your save.

Torplexed · 06-13-09, 08:06 PM

Wish I could get a message to General Rommel to send his Afrika Korps panzers in to keep the attention of the British elsewhere.
