Darn...D-Day didn't happen

DeePsix U-48 · 09-29-05, 12:44 AM

June 3rd, 1944. I'm sailing back twords my harbor when I happen to realize the date. I thought to myself, June 5th at about 2300, I should see a huge convey crossing just north of the normandy beachhead. So I adjust course and find that at current speed I will be in the path of D-Day taskforce with 2 hours to spare. After some duck and dodge with patroling Clemson and V&W destroyers in the channel, I reached the area just north of normandy and set up a patrol root, looping back and forth over the areas where the invasions beaches were to be. As I sat and waited, hoping that suddenly a large convey or two full of troop transports and battleships and cruisers would appear, but I cant have all my wishes come true. With no luck I set back twords breast.

To bad...I had a mess of torpedoes waiting for the Allies. I could have saved france

really! how lame is that, i was curious if they put things like that in the game...

I know there is a mod that adds the D-Day landings somewhat modeled as well as other historical events like the Bismarks cruise and her battles.

I just cannot for the life of me remember which one..

I beliefe that this mod was called "Real World mod"
It can be found in the download section on this site.

If you use RuB there is the Ops mod included which I believe adds D-day ops (and others).

sounds like you got very lucky

all right I've had my fun. I'm allowed one immature post a week right?

I did the same thing once and was surprised that nothing was there.

be glad of the non D-day activity, or your sub would have been at David Jones locker for sure. If remembered correctly, BDU sent 24 subs there as counter meassure, none made it through.. allthough some returned hvy damaged by air before they got even near the zone.. 1 made it to norway i think.

May be your performed too well in your previous actions and have changed the course of History :rotfl:

No just joking

It is a pity that there is not more historical accurancy, but fortunately there are mods out there to solve this

Perhaps the Germans found a stealth fighter through a time machine and changed the course of history to win WW2?
Or an alien race of time travellers stuck on 20th century earth have used their technology to help Germany invade America, thus preventing D-Day?

The old World Mod did have a small handful of ships at Normandy. The Ops mod doesn't yet, but it's being worked on; also the Dunkerque evacuation.

Hartmann · 09-29-05, 01:41 PM

They donÂ¨t land because the kriegsmarine sunk too many ships.

The allied run out of ships and the only way to land is by air or swiming

Im on Patrol 8 of a new career, and on patrol 7, I spent 47 days at sea to wait for the Evacuation at Dunkirk.
