If any of those completely unrealistic unhistorical encounters took place in GWX2 that would tell me they have more work to do.

I realize they are fun and before GW I use to destroy destroyers at long range.
In all of WWII only once did any U-Boat score a hit on a warship with its deck gun that being on a corvette. So, if you are having and winning such encounters it does not mirror reality.
Nothing wrong with having a good time but, IMO, that makes it a game and not a sim. Sim being a simulation a reflection on actual possibilities

But-------IMO and I too have had some very cool duels that remind one of swashbuckling knockout drag out broadside pirating ship of the line sailing days.

I look forward to that PT/S-Boot game/sim where those close pitched fights actually occurred.

U-Boats were meant to assassinate ships not overpower them.
However, once engaged our natural instincts to survive, even on a PC take over and we do any and everything we can.

That is why it is my hope the team can continue to improve, as they have, so that we simply can not have any chance in any battle with any gunned ship even a trawler or lone merchant and must act like the real Kaleuns would have had no choice in.

To make that less likely for me every warship has its crew rating increased to a minimum of 3 and all trawlers are 4 rated. They target and hit you so fast you simply do not consider any gun duel as an option.

Just-IMO
