On my very next patrol I stumbled across a convoy 200km NW of Rockall and to say I bugged out is an understatement. It had 20 escorts of all different types. They still detected me and despatched a hunter killer group from the 20 units despite disengaging with plenty of time. The very first set of hedgehogs took out the forward batteries without any other damage. Not even hull damage. I knew then I was doomed. I lasted 3 hours before the hull damage was too great to stay submerged but I was too deep to do anything about it. The sea killed us in the end. I decided that the game had cheated me and to disregard the death. The destroyers were pyschic as well. I cant understand how my batteries could be completely destroyed with out a scratch on the hull. I play GWX but I have the hull integrity display visible. I feel like the game engine assasinated me. Whether you agree with that Im not sure but the whole sorry saga seemed a little unrealistic and far too hard. I may as well of scuttled the boat on the first ping.
