Tried a few games at 60%, found them too easy. Now at 100% and still to easy.

Especially the convoys idea of stopping when a ship is hit and the inability of the DD's to hunt me down.

So, I've made a few rules myself. No surfacing during convoyattack, exept in emergency, happened once when she wouldn't stop sinking, blew ballast and sunk the entire convoy using the deckgun . Always use at least a three torpedo spread.

Now I get home with 40-50.000 tonnes of sunk shipping, and it still seems to easy.

I have several games going at the same time, at least I did until I had to reinstall. I didn't keep my save files. I like to have games going with different setting. I get the best rush from 100%. I also like the lower setting so I get a better view of stuff blowing up, also sometimes I am just to lazy for 100%.

Seriously I dont remember.
What i wanted to say was that i try to come as close to realism as i can handle.
Since i couldn't start the game up to make a settingslist i used the manual,wich talks about no noise in the options.
Can't remember the setting but know i went as high as i can

edited setting:
x limited batteries
x limited compressed air
x limited oxigene
0 limited fuel(had some bad experience on that)
x realistic vulnerabilety
x realistic repair time
0 manual TDC(that's where my WO earns his paycheque)
x no map contact update
x realistic sensors
x dud torpedoes
x realistic reload
x no event camera
0 no external view(only for taking pics. not for spying the surface or t-nets)
x no stabelized view
0 no WO assistance(here the WO gets his double rum)

You might want to try the RFB mod. That or at least get the ship speed fix mod—it fixes the problem with stopping convoys almost completely.

The one problem is that the campaign is pretty vanilla. Every single convoy (and there are way too many convoys) has ineffective escorts because they are all set to novice or poor skill. All of them.
