GWX blew me away within 5 minutes of leaving the dock, I started my first test career out of Salamis because I always liked Greece and wanted to try a new base out. As I'm leaving the channel I see a half sunk hulk off to the side, that impressed the living daylights out of me.

I thought the sky looked much better than it did in any of my previous SH III installs too, right up until the sun started to set, then I thought it was just downright freakin' beautiful.

Due to RL orders from BdU (aka The Girlfriend, who wanted cuddles) I didn't get a whole patrol in but I did get one attack in and took out a tramp steamer and passenger/cargo, the new damage model is very believable and I was humming "Burn Baby Burn" when the secondaries started. A bit later I ran into what looked like a Hunter Killer group NW of Alexandria, 2-3 DDs and 2-3 DEs, since I was being ordered back to the bunker (so to speak) I didn't do anything fancy, just took the boat down to 75 meters and creeped away...and honestly I think even if I would have had the rest of the night I still would have creeped away.

Very, very impressed so far.
