Mullberry Harbours

Hakahura · 06-17-07, 01:18 PM

Does anyone know if these are present in GWX 1.03?

In my current career it's June 6th '44 and I'm just north of Utah beech.

Is it worth hanging around for a couple of days to see if anything big and concrete turns up?

No they arent
Dont hang about in the channel ffs

:rotfl:

No Mullberrys, bummer

By the way, der kanal on D Day is working out surprisingly well for me.

I dunno but given the choice as you have been between an big block of concrete i.e. a Mulberry or a big hulking mass of steel i.e. HMS Nelson, I'd go for the Nelson.

Mainly because If a u-boat captain had been in a position to spot a mulberry he probably would have scratched his head and decided to shoot at something else because how the hell would he know how many eels it takes to sink one of those, and at what depth?

also, given the choice between a Liner carrying a regiment of invading troops and a mulberry, what would be the sensible target?

I don't want to sink a Mulberry! WTF!

I just enjoy the historical aspects of the game.

Just hoped maybe they were in there. After all a large part of the Mulberrys were old useless ships that were deliberatly sunk. I thought perhaps this could have been done, not disimilar to the block ships at Scapa.

Reaching the right point in time, then loitering and waiting for things to unfold as they should is one of my fave parts of playing this game. Over my time with SH3 and GWX I've made a point of trying to see all the events I can. Wish I had a faster boot for the channel dash though:rotfl:

Ah, I see

watching historic events is cool, I just missed the bismarck thing recently

but my attitude is if it floats and it isn't friendly, sink it

I'm still mad at BDU for not giving me 8 tons per truck blown off a ship's deck, and I also found a use for my AP ammo back in stock SH3. I'd like me a sherman tank on my tonnage list, it's only 43 tons or something but It'd look cool on the list and especially sailing back into port with all the little tonnage flags with the top one showing 43 tons and a tank
