Hello,
my god, version 2.02 after the final version 1.8 a few days ago

.

Meanwhile I'm quite good in using the new stadimeter and the "ring" system - seems my targeting is more precise than with the original tools for manual targeting (with the notepad). Still have to look at the attack disk -

I find the colours, along with the new reduced enemy's potential of spotting the boat, an excellent enhancement to GWX 2.01. This way the U-boat gets back its vital advantage at night for surface attacks, being almost invisible - detection still is a bit too easy for the escorts i think, but i like the challenge. I have tested this only in single missions for now, but it works a treat. Now those surface attacks going in like a PT-boat is what the U-boats were really doing to achieve the tonnage numbers in the beginning of the war.

Concerning the wave colours i have to say this is the closest thing to reality i have yet seen in a sim, including SH IV. I have been doing a lot of real sailing in the Baltic sea as well as in the North sea, and OLCE has that real touch that was somehow not quite right before. Only thing is I have not yet seen the OLCE sea colours in a storm yet ...

Thanks a lot for this mod, and greetings,
Catfish
