@ Danlisa & the Kpt
Thanks for such swift responses. I do use Commander with Malfunctions & Sabotage enabled. Being a cautious soul, on meeting my first GWX2 convoy, and not knowing what "surprises" might be in store I raised the periscope so that the head was just above the surface. In a moderate to light sea it meant that my vision was blurred for a lot of the time as the ships - and escorts - came towards my position. What an incredible effect! I kept it there. It was broad daylight, clear as a bell and I wanted to minimise the risk of the 'scope being spotted.
Took out 2 ( ore carrier and whale factory ship ) Amazing effects (enhanced) then dived deep. The behaviour of the early-war escorts was spot-on: aggressive, but without the technology to pose too much of a threat to a silent-running boat going deep. One still circled uncomfortably close for a long time and peppered the area with depth charges.
Can't wait to finish work and get home for more.
Thanks again. Great job!
