Hello,

I am looking at different mods and I know that different mods have different approaches to the (imho) most important and most fun aspect of fighting in a submarine - its ability to sneak up and sneak away.

I will structure the question thus:
If you have experience of different mods in SH3 (although comments on SH4/5 are also welcome) could you discuss/rate these separate aspects of sneakiness or generally express your opinion on the matter.

1. Daylight surface approach stealth (in each case below, lets say the submarine is in silent mode (3knts) and approaching at 90degrees angle to the Destroyer -for simplicity's sake)
2. Daylight periscope approach stealth
3. Night surface approach stealth
4. Night periscope approach stealth
5. ASDIC effectiveness

So, maybe you could rate each out of 10 or just comment on how different mods compare in this regard. Lets say that stock SH3 has rating of "5 out of 10" in each component how do you think other mods would score in these criteria. (For example, in my humble opinion GWX would score

GWX relative to SH3
1. Daylight surface approach stealth - 2
2. Daylight periscope approach stealth - 2
3. Night surface approach stealth - 7
4. Night periscope approach stealth - 8
5. ASDIC effectiveness - 9
My general comment for GWX would be that daylight stealth factor is too low (Ds spot you at over 20 km) and ADSDIC effectiveness is too high. - EDIT: I have since realised that this opinion was formed on a GWX with some gameplay files altered.)

Cheers!
