I love the look. I love the extra little features, and the new targets. I can live with the constant radio chatter, that makes me dismiss my radio man from duty so I can actually travel to where enemy ships might be, at greater than real-time.

But I can't handle the escorts. Coming within range of one is the end of each career. No exceptions.

I can easily outlast their stores of depth charges, but my store of oxygen is limited, and their patience is unlimited.

My last career, I dragged two escorts off a convoy for more than 36 hours. At 150 meters depth and less than 1 knot, they never, ever left me. They could ping me easily. They never got more than a few hundred meters away from my position. I was using external view extensively, so I know.

When I got desperate, I got myself to periscope depth a couple times to loose off all my torpedoes. I actually sank one of them. My last two eels missed the escort by a few feet, so I decided to make a fight of it on the surface.

My two shells did him some serious damage, but I had yellow-damaged compartments, so I got under again. I was repairing, corrected flooding in two compartments, stopped an uncontrolled descent and was coming up through 50 meters when I apparently imploded.

Does any damage at all = dead?

Has any player ever seen an escort and survived?

Going back to stock.
From reading the above my advice would be to untick the limited oxygen and batteries in your options screen until you become more proficient in overcoming the challenges GWX is giving you.

Should you still decide to uninstall then simply use the Add/Remove Program facility in your Control Panel, not forgetting to delete the SH3 folder in C\MyDocs.
