Then comes the GWX and that's the way it SHOULD have been from the start! I started a new career out of Lorient in Sept, '40 in my U47 Type VIIB. On third patrol in GWX.
I've lurked about here for many weeks reading the comm manual and getting the feel for the tactics. I'm still not totally thrilled with the damage model...last patrol I nailed two whalers out of a convoy and the little devils motored on, albeit, filling with water, but I couldn't stick around to see if they sunk...I had two DD's on my case and I had to evade!
Huge KUDOS to the GWX team...and my thanks to you folks here for a great forum! |
Ah, you could not tell or follow to see if they sunk. Nothing wrong with that damage model. Many ships were hit and still made port. I believe the model is dead on. |
I know historically, that your comment is correct and I have no real argument with the damage model. After a grueling 10 days in heavy weather, no contacts, and then I literally bump into a fat convoy...well, you know the feeling!
Actually, if you press the "." and cycle thru the ships, you can hang around and see what the outcome is and still be able to direct your sub the hell out of dodge.
