Playing GWX is real joy, and I'd like to thank the creators for making such an awesome mod for my favorite game. Still, I find it rather strange that I can sail past the british coast surfaced and running into fishing boats but not getting bombed to bits. Maybe its just that its only 1939.
So anyways, after a shakedown cruise from Konigsberg (which is an absolute pain to get out of) I was tranferred to Kiel (thankfully) in 7th flotilla. Since I started before the war began, I quickly ran over and parked myself in Scapa Flow, thinking I could snag a Battleship or two. There weren't any there, and I left time compression on too long so the destroyers quickly obliterated my painfully obvious U-boat. :\
Scratch that, new plan. I went over to Poland, and parked myself there to wait for some unfortunate ship to sail over the horizon. This time, some Polish destroyers sank me. I was dissapointed to die, but it was better than stock SH3 with no defence whatsoever for most navies
After these two humbling experiences, I decided to actually do my job and patrol square AM 53, going through the canal and cutting straight to the English coast to get a few free gun kills from some unsuspecting fisherman. They're probably high command officers in disguise anyways! Sadly, before I could perform my destruction of evil trawlers, a destroyer spotted me. I instinctively dived, hoping to escape my previous fates. BOOM.. I hit a mine
I really need to get better at this game....
