of birdsong and buildings

She-Wolf · 01-11-09, 04:31 PM

two wonderings to enquire about from your knowledgeable selves.

When I am coming out of Kiel, prior to turning to port to head for the bridge, I can see a soaring edifice in the distance to the right, and a bit before it another place is lit up at night. I winged my way over there last trip and saw that the lit up place appeared to be some sort of formal garden, and the soaring edifice perhaps a memorial, perhaps to the first world war. I felt these must be real-life buildings and would like to know what they are and if they are still in existence today....

Later, having done my patrol, I decided to go round the top of the UK, past Lerwick, to see what I could find. I have done this before in GWX2 and not noticed anything unusual, even when sniffing around close to Lerwick itself, but tonight, in GWX3, having submerged and put me ears on, I can hear what sounds like birdsong coming from the direction of the base at Lerwick. I am consumed with curiosity to see what is making these strange sounds, but fear it will be a bit like 'come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly' and I will get caught and killed if i wander in too far. What say you?

I believe it's a 3-D recreation of the U-Boat memorial at Moltenort, which was built in 1930 and still exists.

Whales! Or dolphins. GWX adds them and you can sometimes hear them on the hydrophones. See page 155 of the GWX manual.

torplexed - thank you. I shall look it up now you have given me the name

mookie! really? oh wow.... don't suppose we can see them, but even so, that is nice

piri_reis · 01-11-09, 04:50 PM

Oh yes you can see them

Very cool to come across. I use Sh3gen for intelligence gathering purposes, the whales/dolphins are plotted as icebergs. Nice to go by if they are on the way to my patrol area.

the manual is crying for you She-wolf

I bet you'll discover there more of "UNKNOWN" mystery

I went chasing those dolphins a number of times, without any luck. Until I saw them where I least expected them - just outside of Bergen harbor.

She-Wolf · 01-11-09, 05:11 PM

piri reis, wonderful. I shall hope to see them one day then.
Contact, I do have the manual, and I have used it, but there is SO much there; I can't take it all in, so I 'dip'. I shall have a look and see what I can find
