Flak exam in academy: suicide?

VonDos · 12-18-07, 12:45 PM

Have you tryed GWX Academy?

Yes?

Flak training and test are mad: they bomb you, the shoot you, they..

Plans was a terrible problem for u-boat: very very hard mission

PeKe · 12-18-07, 12:59 PM

No kidding....I lost half of my crew, compartments were serverly damaged, water was pouring in everywere. If there had not been a mid-air collision, I would never managed that examin.

Rose · 12-18-07, 01:26 PM

Yeah they absolutely brutalized me

. In my mission there were quite a few mid-air collisions as well... I'm certain i would be dead if there weren't any collisions. I love that mission, big up GWX!

Just preaparing you for what lies ahead in 1943

Einsman · 12-18-07, 01:57 PM

Yes, it's an authentic suicide, but I like it.

The life in a U-boot was a hell. Academy GWX is a natural selection. The best Kaleun will attack Great Britain.

If it happens in the Baltic sea. To cross the gulf of Biscay in 1943.... Ufffff.

I passed just this first - navigation examine and not started next ones.
Then i started new career and what i see? There is 1500 points of renown!

I wonder if this trick can be maded in naked SHIII?:hmm:

Rose · 12-18-07, 03:23 PM

haha naked SHIII? Yea, you get renown even in the original SHIII for completing training missions.

Yesterdays flak-training...

Survived without ammo, hull at 45%, 3 Hurricanes left, 2 of them burning like hell for hours

- training completed: average
- wondering about the 2 Hurricanes - they got the first shots at the beginning of training, trail of black smoke and heavy fire on both. They flew like they were completely new until the training ends

papa_smurf · 12-21-07, 10:56 AM

Yup, got absolutley shot to pieces

Managed to only shoot down 4 (yes 4) stringbags (swordfish to everyone else), before my U-boat took severe damage:

-flak gun destroyed
-65% hull intergrity
-50% crew killed.

I got a mark of average. Can anyone do any better?

PhantomLord · 12-21-07, 11:18 AM

Oh... i forgot my casualities

- one man wounded
- one man KIA

FYI, You don't have to do the training missions to get the renown. You just need to adjust to numbers and make "True,+500" in each of the 5 categories in the training/tutorial folder (can't remember what it's called) in MY DOCUMENTS/SH3.

I tried it, yesterday, and lost two men, had major damage and critical flooding. I thought my boat would be sunk, but my THIRD flak gunner (the others were dead) turned out to be the best. With his help, I brought down all of the aircraft, except for one of the fighters (and that plane was trailing smoke and flame, when the Victory notice came up).

HINT: Go to flank, and make judicious use of maneuver, to throw off their aiming ...
