Since GWX2 came out, I've been on my first patrol which was finally finished about a week ago. Lasted 29 days from Sept 1st 1939. In reality probably lasted 40 days!! That's how long it took me to play it And I was playing an hour or two maybe 3-4 times a week.

Always take my time when near ships, as the few times I tried to accelerate time to avoid the waiting, I ended up in a bad position, or a ship ended up far away from me (missed the intercept) etc. So now I just take it easy and slowly.

After playing patrol 2 for 3-4 days now, I'm just north of Scotland. I wish I could get through the game a little quicker, but I just can't seem to do it Too much time following the mods on this forum is the reason
I could write that words as well, you described my way of playing, mate. Today started my way back from Freetown to St. Nazaire, probably two real days (and ~20 game days) more to get home (1 torpedo left, no much job to do though).

Jimbuna: Are you sure you're not playing the S-Boot campaign? :rotfl:
