thanks for the advice.

i think i will probably do some single missions before going into career mode just to see what it's like out there "for real." i have GWX3 so i should have plenty to choose from.

my first few tries with the convoy attack training i did manage to dive and avoid some depth charges but the last time i got hit near the surface and again on the way down before i could get any real maneuvering done and by the time i tried to pull out of the dive it was too late and there was no shovelful of sand to help me out, lol.

i do have a question, when i go to silent running it automatically slows down to the minimum speed on the dial. but if i order more speed does that kill the silent running even if i don't order the chief to do so? it seems to do so for all practical purposes even if everybody's still whispering and whatnot.

i've been trying to watch the stealth meter but i'm not sure if the changes in it have to do with speed, depth, position, or some combination of all of them that i haven't figured out yet.
