its VERY possible you can get to point blank range, you can do it just like the real kaleuns did

this is early 1941 type viic attacking a large convoy southwest of ireland

gwx3 sh3cmdr full realism minus external cam and event cam for screenie taking purposes

i approached directly from behind the convoy with 1 escort taking point and 2 escorts on port and starboard on the convoy take my time watch the pattern of the escorts wait for a gap go ahead flank right up the convoys bum and fire torpedos then pull full 180 turn and crash dive

just thought id share/gloat:arrgh!:

its totally possible if your careful

When the night is pitch black, of course you can!
I oneshotted a Flower Class with my deck gun once.
But the night wasnt as bright as this one is. I noticed it while is was going back to the convoy and it passed about 100m next to me.

I don't think anyone said it wasn't possible. I think the point was that it was harder in the stock game.

I do nite surface attacks alot of the time.

It just takes alot of practice.

I play GWX 3.0 at 100% realism btw

I don't belive that people think there impossible. They are just more difficult with GWX, than with vanilla. They take ALOT more patience.

Not to mention, once they get a hint of your presence, your attack run is pretty much over.
