Got a quick question about operation drumbeat. I know it is scripted in there somewhere, but in the mission editor I can't really find it.

Drumbeat is all those huge amounts of ships and convoys all over the American coast, but, as raymond6751 pointed out, mainly the massive number around New York.

Which American harbors where attacked in that operation?

None.

I guess what I want to find out is, how do I get in on the action?? Thanks.

Take a Type IX boat, and there's a chance you will actually be assigned there. Or use SH3 Commander and assign yourself to the proper patrol grid.

(or if you know an exact date for the start of the operation in SH3 GWX, maybe then I can look it up in the mission editor)

Wiki's, and Steed's, numbers are correct.

*edit* I just came across the 'sh3Gen' mod. Will it point me in the right direction or even give me orders when Drumbeat starts?

SH3 Gen looks at the current map and tells you what assets are where. You can set it to tell you everything, which is a simple cheat, or you can set it to give you some info when you ask, and for some of that to be wrong. Lots of fun.
