Has the number of random (well, there's probably nothing random about it) or lone merchant contacts been decreased in GWX compared to stock SH3?
On my present patrol departing from Kiel, I have only encountered one ship that wasn't scripted port traffic since reaching the open sea past Brunsbüttel - and that was about halfway up the coast of Norway. Since then, I've been around the Shetlands and the Orkneys, patrolled grid AN11, twice tried intercepting reported task forces in the AE and AF grids to no avail, returning to my patrol area in between.
I realise that this was often "the lot" of the Kriegsmarine, but i'm surprised to have seen or heard no contacts at all in the game, especially given that they have been so fruitful on previous patrols. I've typically been steaming at 10kt (unless intercepting phantom task forces) and regularly diving to 20m for hydrophone checks.
