Good! I'm looking forward to testing my evasion skills... if I make it that far. I edited the game so that I could have a XXI in 1939, and I have to say... its a lot of fun playing with the escorts. I attacked a coastal freighter off Scapa yesterday and the sea was glassy calm. As I'm setting up my torp attack, soundman reports warship closing at high speed. (Freighter must've spotted my periscope on the glassy sea cause she also started zigging) So I located the incoming destroyer through the scope, simply sped up and out-manuevered it and 1 accurate fish sent the coastal freighter to it's grave (right in front of the British destroyer... who I'm sure wasn't too happy.) I then dove to 60 meters, went ahead standard, and left the destroyer in my wake, dropping depth charges and probably scratching its head in disbelief. Experiencing that in 1939, from an escort's POV, would probably be equivalent to a UFO sighting today LOL :rotfl: . I'm looking forward to a challenge in my XXI if I can ever find an escort hunter/killer group. I know how deadly the escorts are in GWX, especially 2.0... which is why it was fun to "taunt" that little destroyer with my XXI. I've met many a death in "conventional" type VII's and IX's at the hands of GWX's escorts (and don't even get me started on the CURSED black swans!!!).
