Even early in the war, it is difficult to do this in the game.

hahaha....sorry but if anything early war its too EASY to attack on the surface
39/40 westcoast of uk using nothing but deckgun ive racked up ridiculous amounts of tonnage easily up 20 ships sunk per patrol (i sink everything even little motorboots) all you have to do is be careful with deckgun ammo place your shots properly
seriously though should be a bit harder to do this i rarely encounter enemy warships or aricraft and even if i do all i do is dive for a few hours and resurface to continue my rampage, ive done this in completely flat seas totally clear and yet i still have very little difficulty with this
either thier needs to be more frequent enemy patrols here or less traffic cause its silly at times
(note this is with gwx 3 and sh3 cmdr nearly full realism) |
Yea that is exactly true with the deck gun. I think the earlier post was regarding surfaced torpedo attacks. Historically submarine attacks were done at night while surfaced from a range of about 1500m. In game however, the majority of time, one gets are easily detected by the convoy from this range at night. Making periscope attacks the norm in game for torpedo attacks.
From uboat.net they have stats on all ships sunk by subs and by what means and there was onlt about 220 ships sunk exclusively using a deck gun. So that aspect is not modeled well at all in the game. I simply quit using my deck gun altogether except to finish off a ship that has been torpedoed already, and then I limit the rounds I use.
