Sounds Great!

I didn't even know you are going to release more of this slice of heaven called GWX

great
 

this is a great post,one of the most detailed posts ive read. the only other in the same class was the wazoo targeting post,thanks.im pretty new so soaking up all the knowledge

We began beta testing of the GWX update two days ago :up:

First, a question...
How is managed the time of depth charge going deep?
I mean, when I trying to flee at depth 100meters or more, when I m hearing "depth charge!" I m changing course and speed to ahead full or even flank... still the depth charges always looked to be on my path :stare:

Second, a thing I noticed...
When ambushing convoy, I m always targeting the tail of it... usualy, the escort has passed me before I take my shot, then I take the opposite direction of the convoy, running deep and ahead one third... once my hydro report the first torpedo's impact I change my course to cross the convoy path behind it and run slow. Tracking the escort on hydrophone, they usualy take at least 2 more minutes to get to my firing position and they never get my trace again...

GWX is far too easy. :smug:

if its to easy
why did i spot you in a "2nd patrol ur dead" club meeting :hmm:
:rotfl: :rotfl:
j/k

Just being sarcastic that's all. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

i know:rotfl:

Torpedo noise
 

In reference to a previous question regarding how you can be located from launching a torpedo . . . I have a related question. When the torpedo is expelled from the tube, is some sort of pressurized gas used (ie air, CO2)? It is a sharp and loud sound (at least in the game) which a hydrophone could probably get a bearing from. Is there any truth to this?

Compressed air :arrgh!:

Here's a piece of advise i've been meaning to post for awhile, and i may as well post it here.

In GWX, Sailing on the surface, during a really calm and clear day, is a really bad idea.

Reason is, AI_visual has a max range of 30K in GWX. I beleive this was neccessary because the enviormental settings in GWX, REALLY hamper their vision. Any less range they'd be utterly blind. On a calm and clear day, there is nothing holding the visual aquity back.

I Never sail on surface during day no matter what the weather is!!!

Later on in the war I can understand.....but early on :hmm:
Where's your sense of adventure :cool:

I have read in several books by both Kaleuns and U-hunters that DC's could render listening devices useless for sometimes 10 minutes. This is not modeled then?

Well, I had a nice run in last night (mid night, heavy fog) in 1939 north of Scapa with a Battleship and its escort. Peek-a-boo, you're dead! I'd run on surface with clear weather any time. Being spotted at 8 km is nothing, by the time a DD gets to where I was i'll be sneaking 200 deep and 5 miles away.
