Hi all
talking about first impressions, I already shared mine in the locked thread, with some questions too, immediately before the depth charges started. So here's my updated first impressions again.
1) I sorely miss the direction "tail" on objects in the tactical map, it's awfully hard now to tell where I'm heading.
2) Compared to previous GWX there's a number of strange things in the high seas, for instance, every time I'm about exiting Wilhelmshafen I encounter some amphibious Me-109s - half submerged in water desperately trying to stay afloat.
3) On forays into Lerwick sub base I found that it must be guarded by the stupidest skippers in H.M. Navy, as the three destroyers guarding the harbor are all run ashore.
4) They do have some brave British sailors though, as they still man the deck gun of the submerged S-Type, just like the bridge lookouts who look out for fish 10 yards below the surface. Even after their boat gets a Type II topedo right into its tower. They must be desperate to get a Victoria Cross or something.
5) Time compression has been altered such way that I can't go above 8 or max 32x in shallow waters or when contacting the enemy. This is bad. It is a kaleun's fundamental human right to crash his boot with dreimal wahnsinnige against the shore at 1024x compression.
6) Whenever I try to sail out of Wilhelmshafen with my freshly shaven crew, I get a CTD. Given the endless loading times, maybe it's a bug planted by my wife to make me give up playing. Maybe I should, coz GWX2.0 seems the last drop squeezed out of the game which I have been playing for more than two years now...
