empty bases

ABBAFAN · 02-10-08, 11:55 AM

Does anyone else find upon sneaking into bases such as gibraltar that there is never anything there?other than whatever is gurading the entrance.

Actually, I have ALWAYS had something there when I snuck into a base. Been in all of them in England, USA, South America, and even in Gibraltar. Have gotten close enough to Alexandria and Tobruk...but have never actually gotten inside.

I sneaked into Scapa Flow once, only to put down two docked DD's

That's when I decided that port raids wouldn't be a priority in my campaign

how much looking did you have to do?i made several periscope sweeps and got nothing.

NealT · 02-10-08, 04:49 PM

Did not take much for me at least not initially. Since my first foray, I have explored them LOTS :p

I'm presuming your playing GWX .....some of the harbours do not have as much traffic/vessels scripted into them as others (but just a few)

I stay in deep water

ABBAFAN · 02-10-08, 08:02 PM

ive been into gibraltar and scapa flow and both were empty.is it necessery to conduct a prolonged sweep with the periscope?or should any ships there appear as soon as you raise the scope?are ships able to be seen in f12 view even when the crew havent spotted them?this is possible in the open sea as i have used f12 as a cheat view when below periscope depth.

are you playing gwX, i nearly always find a lot of harbour traffic in the stock game, but it might be different for gwX

good hunting!

Your operator should pick them up and report their presence as soon as they come within your hydrophone range.
If there are any ships there of course
