a ridiculously long name that i came up with for a hometown in slovakia

im acutally from the US, but im only a 3rd generation american and my family is strongly slovakian. that town/village name actually is a close spelling of the town/village where my ancestors lived before they came here, but i just added a bunch of c's and z's to make it look funny and really long, plus i wanted to see if anyone really noticed it

but now that everyone knows, im changing it to my real hometown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Well, as stated you can always change the realism values to what you feel is approrpiate.

Why did GWX not penalize more on no map contact updates? I can only guess, but i beleive the general theme was to make the game accessiable to everyone. To strike a balance between realism and gameplay, always a precarious proposition as there are many definitions for those terms.

Not necessarily. I've never used the contact updates and I still manage to sink as much as 175k, 104k and current 104k + 9 torps left with my IXB. :) But that needs tons of patience, caution and precise plotting.

Yes, you still get the radio reports from time to time, about ships, convoys and task forces.
