I spent 5 and a half hours last night playing a new career with a VIIC in late 41. After 3 days I ran into a convoy just at the channel and tried a Kretschmer style "in their midst" attack. Late 41 and the convoy only had 3 escorts and only one was a destroyer. I got spotted I think cause I didn't wait for it to get dark enough. BUt I was so close by then that a quick crash dive and reappearing at periscope depth in the middle of the column I was able to quickly sink a Tanker and a C3. about 3 hours was nearly real time carefully maneuvering at dusk to make my attack and the ensuing DD attack.
That's my distraction. We'll see if I can die before GWX comes out.
I am lucky also because I have a fast cable connection. And if GWX doesn't run must slower than 1.1a then I shouldn't have trouble at all.
