What to do..?

gordonmull · 02-08-08, 04:14 PM

I'm in AM52 on April 6 1940. Playing GWX2. I'm in contact with a convoy and have damaged a fiji and an ore carrier before being forced down. I don't think I can overhaul them before they hit shallow water so I'm thinking of breaking contact anyway. Loathe to let them go now I've expended torps on them but there's the crew's safty to think about.

the question is though, is it worth heading for the coast of Norway to see if I can bag anything big during the operation? Fuel is about 70% so I think I can push it over at ahead full.

Either that, or await the next convoy

Post a screen print of the nav map and I'll tell you...

Jimbuna, do you reckon its too late for operation Hartmut then? This is my first GWX attempt so I'm really up for seeing one of the scripted events.

Depends on what dates the events happen. If you are going to burn all your fuel getting there, best hope for another convoy.

You'll have to move quickly

Thanks. I was quick! There's contact reports going on all over th place, loads of submarine reports (which I'm assuming are u-boats). No visual/hydrophone contact with the home fleet as yet but I'm hoping!! Still to bag a capital ship.
