First, my thanks to the Dev team and all those who contributed to the project. It's outstanding work. I spent two hours downloading the thing but it was worth. I installed another Sh3 to just see GWX (sorry, I wasn't ready to risk my great crew, great u-boat and great career for something I haven't seen yet).

Now I stick with it, even if I have to start all over again. It's marvellous job. The execution level is as high as those of the commercial productions but even more complete.

To be honest, I hated the previous damage model. Having to wait for days for every merchant to sink was hampering the gameplay, wasting my freetime and wasn't realistic (well, not the long sinking itself, but the necessity for the u-boat to stay nearby and wait, otherwise it wouldn't be counted as a hit). Yesterday I sunk a passenger/cargo with a single torpedoe (I hesitated for at least 5 minutes before pressing fire though). It didn't sink right of the way, but it managed to make another 10-20 kilometers. I liked it, it didn't take real time hour and was fun. Then two aircraft appeared firing on me. Did you do anything to RAF? I've never been attacked by planes after sinking a merchant before! Great!

I love every tiny bit of this expansion. Just two questions:

1) I received a message talking about a polish submarine sunk by U-14 (?). I don't know if it's correct, but as far as I know Poland had only 2 U-class submarines, ORP Sokol and ORP Dzik, also known as Terrible Twins. Both of them survived the war and did very well as well.

2) Do the transmissions cover the entire war?

Thank you, gentlemen.
