Default Almost forgot an opinion/comment

I love blowing up military ships versus cargo ships.

I modded out the campaign random in the original game to be flooded with British Navy vessels by just increasing probability and time of start/finish on what was already there.

Until then the stock game made me think if this is what it was really like, Hitler was a fool to never invage England they don't have enough Navy to stop me.
I used to run the channel all the time with no traffic at all on it.
After my mod it felt like there was a legitimate strong English Navy.

So the amount of ships etc. is considerably increased in GWX... but I'm still suprised at how few "task forces" as well as non-destroyer Navy ships are out and about in the game.
Looks like 1942? picks up a lot and I haven't played a career to that year yet so I will see if that happens.

Maybe an official GWX update sometime that increases the probability of British/American Battle ships showing up in increased numbers?

PS: I did run into a 3 cruiser task force running at 16kts. I couldn't get closer than 2000m but that was good enough. My first salvo had only one hit, but I got lucky and hit a secondary magazine on the lead cruiser a Fuji, no sink but almost immediate stop. I then one shoted torps at the other two which were auxilary. I missed a lot, but I got super lucky on both when I did hit.
I managed to blow the magazine on both ships when I hit them. Huge explosions and each completely sunk in less than a minute.

Looking for more opertunities like this.
