Halifax recon report

raymond6751 · 04-21-06, 07:03 AM

Just to test the harbor traffic part of Grey Wolves mod, I made a single mission to visit Halifax harbor in Oct 39 with a type VII boat.

I wondered if the harbor traffic was just for German/European ports.

Well, I am happy to report that traffic was just as busy in and around Halifax as in Kiel.

I snuck in to within 300m of the deepest docks through multiple sound contacts of warships and merchants.

I didn't see much due to the weather, but at the end of my run, when I was about to turn around I spotted two medium tankers at anchor.

Two hits on one of them, a miss on the other, and I am out of here!
Wish me luck! I have to get all the way out past the patrols now.
Water depth is 15 meters, so escape once detected is impossible.

Great news. The GW package really does bump up the immersion factor of this game big-time.
