Where are the battleships?

Von Talon · 08-21-09, 01:46 PM

I am wondering, where are the battleships in GWX 3? Are they all sailing somewhere or are they docked in ports? I have been looking for battleships and other big ships from most ports of Britain, but I couldn't find any.

So, I am asking, are the BB's always sailing around the globe? And if they are, are they sailing historically accurate courses? Like if you go to Denmark Strait at 24th of May 1941, can you see the Hood and Bismarck fighting?

Or are the battleships laying in ports? And if they are,
Where, and when they are?
Example: I can find HMS Hood from Scapa Flow between 13th of August 1939 to 19th of November 1940 or USS Iowa from New York from 30th of January 1942 to 2nd of May 1944?

Thank you!

I think famous battles like hood vs bismark and the hunt for bismark afterwards are simulated in game, not every vessel movement or appearance is scripted, a large proportion of them are based on random chance, if you look in the campaign files with the mission editor you can see for yourself.

I remember sinking one docked just N/E of Gibralter. Actually there was a TF there and I bagged four capital ships. This was in 1940 mind you.

Gibraltar always has at least 4 Southampton and 1 BB.

I just found a big convoy of at least 6 BB surround by Fiji Class near Alexandria in the Med, date was 1943

Early in the war patrol west of Scapa Flow or better still, look in the Campaign_Scr file with Mission Editor.
