After a long break from SHIII I finally reinstalled the game and included TGW mod. I like most of what I see so far and decided to get reacquainted with the game before starting another career.
If the rest of the game is like the naval academy, I shall be lucky to score any renown before I'm retired or sunk
Navigation - excellent
Flakk artillery - excellent
Naval artillery - not good enough 1st time, satisfactory 2nd time, excellent 3rd time.
Torpedoes - see naval artillery.
Convoy - after the last 4 I did well enough on my first attempt to score excellently.
Only thing I need to do is restart my career and not use the Kiel canal as I'm currently struggling along at 4x time compression with about 5 hours RT to the north sea hehe- at least the scenery is nice.
