Listen To Gwx Team Regards Aircraft!!!!
 

WOW!!!

having played stock sh3 for a year...before gwx ...(thank you lord!)....i liked nothing more than playing a

little cat an' mouse with any aircraft that dared buzz me in my endeavours to sink my enemy's

shipping........cut to a couple o' years later with gwx2.0 and i thought...against Kpt Lehmann ,

jimbuna's.....etc advice....(and the manual!!!!)...id stay on surface and go toe to toe with my brand new

type IXb.....with extra firepower up top.....


well i turned toward my attacker with the same kind of foolhardy bravery that got me by in the good old days!!!


"she'll be smashing into the salty brine soon" i thought.....but then.... through my binoculars...........

"Whats that big round thing protuding from the underbelly of that plane??......oh my!..... its suddenly

detached and heading in my direction!!!!...........not to worry ...they never have any kind of aim first

time......then....."wait a minute......that black dot is getting bigger!!!! ." ....DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!!!!!!!!.........................DOH!

Watch officer -dead
Warrant oifficers dead
Flack gunners dead
Secondary gunner dead

Flack guns destroyed

Major leaks in the engine-battery-torpedo rooms.
Hull stability 68%



NOTE TO SELF.....READ and BELIEVE THE *********G MANUAL!!!!!!

bugger that...."CHIEF....CRASH DIVE!!!.....WATCH OFFICER....DONT BOTHER TAKING IN THE BISCAY CROSS.....WHERE WERE GOING IS BETTER THAN THE EASTERN FRONT:rotfl:

STEED mate

Bernard is talking mutiny as we speak!!!!!1

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

yeah with GWX I only take on planes if i am in my Type II/D with the upgraded conning tower. Seems the planes have trouble hitting the little boat. :arrgh!:

be careful... watch crew and gun crews are abotu a million times more vulnerable to gunfire too... start taking machine gun fire and you might see deck gun crews getting mowed down like when the higgins boat doors open up on saving private ryan.

Fighting aircraft is really a last resort. Basically if you can submerge in time to 50 or 60m then just dive.

Flak guns come in handy to help fend off air cover to give you chance to dive but prolonged battles of a sub against a plane, the sub never fared well.

yea penelope....ive learned my lesson:rotfl: just had to see what i was up against!!! i knew gwx was much more realistic...ive been using it for ages...but when i saw that bomb make a direct hit first time...well.....i now know how mutch of an improvement you guys at the gwx team have made.

there has been mutch thanks directed to the dev team here recently...and im not saying anything that hasnt been said before but.

i logged on to this forum after i paid for an add-on i saw in some store...med pack i think...and asked if there were any others available.......one kaleun promptly opened my eyes to another world!!!

gwx, nygm etc were available and i never looked back....gwx being the one for me.

the help and support for a newb was outstanding and non judgemental in every way.

can i take this opertunity to say a massive thanks to Kpt lehmann and his team for the outstanding work and dedication over the last years and for making a game with a lifespan of a year at most in my eayes into the only game ive ever played for over 3 years.

to all the modders and dev guys who have made this game give me a sore neck, back and eyes...a massive thank you!!!

and to all the help from fellow kaleuns who have put up with my daft questions....my respect to you all:rock:

Haha, great story there :up:

I remember the old days, when one would actually be happy when sailing through calm waters and finding an (or more) aircraft!
Oh and LOL for trying to outdive a falling bomb!

ahh the good old days... i rmemeber rolling my eyes as i read my stats which claimed more air kills than Richard Ira Bong! :nope:

Just go to u-boat.net and read about all the great success the u-boats had against aircraft.

must have been a kill ratio of about 1:500 in the favor of the airplane.
