This is a huge change. Convoys in particular are really, really tough. When I used the external camera, I would just find out where the fattest target was, then position myself accordingly in the lanes. Without the camera, I have to pop up the scope and take my best shot.
What I miss the external view for most though is ship recognition. Just that simple ability to know if it is an enemy or a neutral is huge. I need to get better at the hydrophones, that's for sure.
The other single biggest change for me was getting rid of save games. I used to save four or five times during an attack approach. Run the magnetic pistol torpedoes too deep? No problem, reload the game, adjust, and try again. Now I just miss.
Like I said in an earlier post, I used to be a great Kapitan, a legend in the Kriegsmarine and Tommy's personal nightmare. Now I'm just a guy in a tin tube trying to get what I can and not get killed.
It becomes a very different war.
