More satisfying too.

That's fine if you like shooting fish in a barrel. Not very exciting imo.

[QUOTE=desirableroasted;1562956]Depends on your definition of "bad weather," I guess, but the last thing I want is to be rattling around in a convoy in "poor visibility."

There again. No Risk, No Glory.

There are things about this sim that are like the fall hunting season here in the Northern woods.
I choose to sit and wait for my prey to appear, rather than slowly move and stalk like some hunters. I can spot movement much better when I keep still and quiet. The more I hunt, the better I know my prey, its habits, the routes it takes. Patience is acquired with experience. I learn something new with each hunt.
The antisapation of doing everything right is 90% of the hunt.
The kill tastes just a little bit sweeter.

To me SH3\GWX is like a chess game, a good brandy and a fine cigar.
To be enjoyed slowly and savored.
