New to GWX

PapaG39 · 10-04-07, 01:11 PM

I'm in the middle of Patrol #10 out of Kiel since installing GWX.
I also did 9 patrols in the standard SH3 & then it transferred me to Brest.

The main differences that I have run across since GWX have been a lot more DD's & Armed Trawlers in GWX. I have mostly kept my distance, but a couple of times they almost got me in that shallow water. It really made for some tense escape manuvering time.
Now I am seeing cargo ships being escorted by a lone trawler & with the rough seas it is almost impossible to hit those little buggers. If you shoot & miss you are surely a dead boat...

After a sinking you had better get away submerged also because aircraft will show up very soon. If they see you then the DD's/Trawlers will arrive shortly thereafter.

It is now August 21st 1940 & I have been informed that Bergen, Norway is now a sub base.
I can't find anything on how to transfer to that base. I don't want to go to Brest after this patrol like I had to do last time. I want to continue on in this career in the North Sea area.

Is there a way to do that instead of shipping to Brest?

I have the Commander thing installed, but haven't figured out how either stay in Kiel or ship to Bergen while keeping my same crew/boat etc...

Of course this is assuming that I make it through this patrol. Right now I have 4 DD's all around me within 10km & a convoy coming up the southern tip of the channel heading east. Things could heat up very fast shortly and the water here is only 17-25m deep...lol..

I may try & just go north on the east shore of England for a couple of squares & see if it is a bit less busy...

You aren't addicted or anything are you?

You can quit anytime you like right?

<At least that's what I keep asking myself.>

Ohh that's something that always annoyed me a bit, sure there is the flottila info in the ingame help screen and the manual, but it's not by chance possible to add the location of the base into the "change flottila" screen?

The trouble is bases change during the war
The screen would have the wrong bases on as war progressed
- thats if its possible to change the screen
Not looked

Might be possible with Cmdr.

Could probably add updated info via the date folders.

Well, if I am addicted, there is no one to blame other than you Lehmann and the rest of your team. :rotfl:

I tried to quit a month ago, lasted about 3 days. The last night I had some sort of breakdown and my wife was pretty disturbed when I woke her up yelling something about wasserbomben and Der Kanal. She's a smart lady and immediately woke me up and sat me down in front of the computer, loaded GWX for me, and inserted an IV line filled with coffee. Isn't she great? Although she's getting a bit testy since I haven't shaved in 3 weeks and am I'm starting to smell a bit, but she know dedication to duty when she sees it
