First off, thanks for all the replies.

AVGWarhawkDon't forget the premature explosions as well. They are worse than the dudes. It kind of gives away your presence
. Rough weather can give you the premature detonations. Kind of a two edge sword. You can get in very easy with the weather but all can be for not if the torp prematures on you
How true.
Last night got into a great convoy (9/40) somewhere north of AM53.
It had one Large Tanker, a few Medium Tankers and Small Tankers and a couple Pyro's, in addition to Small Merchants and such.
Weather was 15m winds, overcast, with medium fog.
Got within 540m of a Flower and not detected!!!!
(Totally perpindicular to it)
Lined up 2 torps each on a Large Tanker and Pyro. Turned out due to duds, bad weather and my poor aim that I only sunk a Small Mercahant. I evaded on the surface to the rear of the convoy. Sunk a Lake ship that was a straggler but could not catch up to convoy due to weather (it was going at 10kts)
While not the big haul that i wanted , it was a blast. Playing GWX with high realism sure does make you proud even when its not a big score like the constant 100k ton patrols in vanilla SH3.
So once again thank you GWX team
