GWX 2.0 New First Impressions - Page 4

Although I haven't had the time to check everything, what I have seen I am enjoying! I've just started a few of the single missions, and thanks to the Grey Wolves, I now have a song stuck in my head, that goes like this-

"Ice, Ice, Baby!" LOL

When I first started the mission, my orders were pretty clear. We would be starting out SW of Iceland, weather was not good to begin with, already raining! We should also be on the lookout for icebergs as the mission progresses. A small convoy would be our target.

So I started out, we were running on the surface. Cold as heck, rain falling, and as I look at my Watch Crew, everyone is wearing regular uniforms, no rain gear! My first thought was simple-

"BERNARD!!!!"

That knucklehead never handed out the rain gear, I swear, when I get back to port, I'm transferring him to the Army, on the Russian Front. He can dig trenches around Stalingrad until the war ends for all I care!:rotfl:

Like I said, having a great time, and really appreciate this wonderful mod! And to the "Wolves", don't let all the gripping about this and that get to you!(From what I've seen on other threads) The computer gods created the uninstall button for a good reason!

Just to let you know mate, the crew not changing to bad weather gear automatically is a stock bug. You need to send your crew below... and then back up to the bridge again to see them switch to bad weather gear.

Try it out and you'll be good to go.

SH3 is quirky... but not so bad.

This really shouldn't be hard to figure out

But I'm not going to post my conclusions here, wouldn't want to spoil anyone's schadenfreude

Of course.

Did you expect anything different?

You'll have to start Whale sightings on Operation Spinnennetz!:hmm:

KeptinCranky · 12-14-07, 05:14 PM

Hehe, I was a bit more verbose about reaching that conclusion elsewhere Canovaro, but of course they do... I haven't been able to prove it yet but I will eventually

Paajtor · 12-14-07, 05:18 PM

We have something the old-school whale-hunters didn't have: a hydrophone.

Adriatico · 12-15-07, 01:13 AM

It's getting even worse...
In SouthAfrican sea, I ordered my crew to bait with pieces of tuna for 48 hours but... we haven't seen one single GreatWhite ?!?

Is it GWX2.0 bug or they will get hungry in 1943 ?

KeptinCranky · 12-15-07, 10:28 AM

umm,

no sharkses in there, no my precioussss...

But if they were the reason they've ignored you would be:

they are above mere pieces of tuna, you'll have to dangle something significantly larger from the back of the boat.:hmm:..Bernard comes to mind
