The wolfpacks in GWX are made up of a hand full of Type VII subs

they cannot submerge and they cannot fire torpedos which leaves only one option.

regardless of how heavily protected the convoy is, they will rush in on the surface blazing away with the deck gun.

I have seen this several times.

they will usually get a merchant or two, damage a couple of more then the escorts start zooming toward them with all guns blazing.

the little U-boats fight back but they are helpless since they cannot submerge.

eventually, the black swawns overwhelm the U-boat wolfpack.

the watch tower crew goes away. and they are now destroyed and bobbing on the waves.

eventually, if you watch long enough they will sink.

We really only need a couple of mods to put the finishing touches on GWX

1. submergable AI U-boats
2. Enemy AI torpedos
3. Friendly AI torpedos

currently this is not available. and SH3 is the only subsim i have really played with any level of devotion to the genre that has not offered those three itmes stock out of the box.
