Underwater batteries last longer too, which will become a major factor (even in the stock game) around mid 1943 as aircraft start to become a major problem. While the VIIC is undoubtedly the workhorse, personally I prefer to wait till the VIIC/41 becomes available (or type XXI if I've got enough reknown at the time).

There are already quite a lot of bombers in late 1941 - it's not unusual to get attacked below the lattitude of Lorient. The best spot for convoys seems to be to the west of Cornwall. But there you can get attacked by 6 bombers easily, with more comming later. I heard flak is not as effective in GWX, is that true? Are bombers harder to hit there, or was the crew made less accurate?

Plus you get the chance to sink battleships and carriers, something you rarely if ever see in the stock version.

Can I switch to GWX while continuing my current campaign?
