It's now early in the second week of October, 1939. I've encountered and sunk four singles and made one dash to intercept a convoy, but no luck yet with a convoy. I've got a mod installed which makes the ships ride lower in the water. I love the effect. I'm also encountering "uneven" sinking effects from torpedoes, which is a GWX intention. You can never be quite certain how many torpedoes to use, which adds to the effect of realism. I sunk one larger ship with one torpedo, and had to use three on a smaller vessel. The uncertainty makes for a more interesting game, and more realistic tonnage scores. I am about to head for home due to low fuel. The game is running smooth as silk on this new gaming laptop. I'm used to the black bars at both sides of the screen and don't really notice them anymore. I've read some posts about screen res mods and I'm not going to tinker with something that ain't broke. Besides, on my desktop, the game runs in full screen on my other large LCD, albeit at original resolution. For a nearsighted guy like me it's not a deal breaker.
There's only one annoying thing, all of those extraneous radio messages that add "immersion" to the game but are simply ear candy. I'd really like to disable them. Any advice on how to do so? I could really do without any messages except for those that are in-game, such as convoy sightings or orders to change base. I'm getting awfully sick of having my TC knocked back to 1x every time an irrelevant message comes in.
Thx.
