I don't get it... I found the Pacific to be dull. First you have to travel a billion miles to get to the goods and then you get sent from one patrol zone to another, burning fuel and having nothing to shoot at. I don't complain about dullness because it's usually smashed away when you encounter your first 30+ convoy with no <8k ton ships. The same goes for GWX. In one patrol I barely make 30k tons with all my torpedoes and gun shells spent. In the next I down 100k tons in a single huge convoy. And the weather sure it's annoying, but each spring we get here 2-3 weeks with no sun whatsoever. In GWX storms pass fast if you leave the area or just stand your ground until they pass. I think having calm water in the middle of the ocean to be more annoying than zero visibility. I can shadow a slow ship while keeping it at my 270 or 90. When it stops moving I know I'm right in front of it and just wait for it to byte the fog. Plus, those stern magnetic shots never fail to amuse me
