Thanks for the input. I have realisting sinking times, and I too enjoy the uncertainity.

Next is mastering hits and doing this 'sweetspots' thing veterans speak of.

I got the basic idea, so theory is there - only application is left. I will try to find calm seas and loners to apply my scientific methods now

However I notice in '39 Dec it is quite often than not I find the 15m/s winds with heavy rainfall. Perhaps because I go 2048x TC against the general concensus of 128 should be the max TC. At least I am positive that this is not a constant situation, sometimes I get other weather too. Summary = heavy seas OFTEN but not always.

Some other random bits that I would like to share and ask for your comments is below, (I will not thread spam & post 5 threads for 5 random bits)

It's the beginning of the war ('39 Dec) sneaking into harbors in II A is unbelievebly easy. As I know that I am no master of anything, I wonder if I am not playing the same game with some people who say sneaking into harbours is too risky. or maybe they have stock SH3 while I have GWX Gold? But then general idea is stock=easy, GWX=difficult, right? What do you think on this?

What I am doing is this:
1. Approach to ~30 km of harbour
2. submerge to 15m
3. silent mode=ON
4. set speed=1kn
5. plot a safe enough course (=always go on an imaginary 'lane' in the middle of the strait/port) if necessary draw ruler lines on two sides of the coast and measure exact center and travel on that.
  Even if that hits a mine, with 1 kn speed & 15m deep mine will not damage you more than 20 mins repair times even with LRT=ON
6. when around 800 m to harbour port, stop and listen, if it's safe enough, raise observation periscope, map visually, pick the targets, mark on map
7. maneuver to ideal attack location for the best possible target ship
8. fire and do one of these
  - slowly go back as you came
  - stop and reload now or anytime in the next 3 hours plus to 16 hours time frame & repeat the attack
  - This 3 hours of 'cool down' time frame is just assuming the destroyers/trawlers are 'aware' of enemy presence and would find me (actually in game they cannot - I guess - anyway

I had so many other stuff to ask you but can't remember any now, I will post later on if n when it comes back.

Thanks
