Agreed, very good post..
I'm interested to know more of the reasoning behind how the game is harder than it was in real life... did he elaborate any on the reasoning behind the statement at all? I know that it couldn't possibly have been as hard as its is in GWX, but the stock game was pretty easy to start with, meaning that he was basically saying that real life U-boating was like Sunday cruising with the chance of losing your life...
Speaking to the GWX team here, I think it would be fair if you all had a look into this data, as it may help to further improve balance and realism within your mod, and in addition, I imagine it would help a lot of people enjoy your addon further. I'll say though that I'm not thinking this would become an easy way to lose DD's as I'm sure there are plenty of other detection strategies that one might fall prey too, but I think that in many cases, GWX seems to model almost exclusively the aspects of U-Boat operations that serve to make life more difficult and not all that many that make it easier. Just a thought.
