It's Apr 1944 (in GWX 1.03), and I'm on my second patrol to the North Atlantic. I've received very few contact reports during this and the previous patrol - only one for a convoy in the 4-week patrol, and none in two weeks during the current patrol. I'm getting more Task Force reports. Is this expected, i.e. is this SH3/GWX "simulating" fewer reports due to U-boat attrition and lack of Condor and other aircraft observations?

I would expect so. GWX is based on the historical situation.

So that's the reason for the lack of contact reports I'm getting from you lately ;) :lol:

Just kidding!

There were a very many occasions in RL when boats returned to base without even a sniff of encountering anything :arrgh!:

I'm on my 32nd patrol with GWX 1.03, it is now August 1943 sailing out of Breman with the 11th Flotilla. We've defintely become the hunted. Nothing but airplanes and hunter-killer groups. Found an Artic convoy on my 31st patrol but could not get close enough to launch torpedos. Spotted by destroyer escorts and I took quite a bit of damage. Had to return to base.
