...which brings us back to my original post. To cut a long story short, I´m just hoping the GWX dev is not to keen on making the most out of the Destroyer AI while history tells us that patience and good luck on the U-Boat´s side was a factor rather than any clever underwater tactics.

Another point is that reportedly U-Boats could get very close to Destroyers at nights without being noticed. I´m just reading an authentic book which states that a big type IX was passed several times by a destroyer within 200m without takijhng any notice.

In another chapter the author reports that a merchant tried to shoot at their U-Boat but couldn´t because they were so close that the merchant´s guns couldn´t take the angle to aim...

Important details which depict a war far different from what we´ve seen so far in subsims.

Cheers, AS
