hmmm i thoroughly enjoy the gwxperience but i do want to know this one thing:

how come the empire freighter, crippled and listing more than 45 degrees, is able to put holes in my lovely boat?

i crippled it in a convoy run, after the escorts broke off I stalked the convoy track and found this one sitting still. i surfaced and prepared to sink her with a couple well placed rounds but instead i found myself running away fast

her gunners scored over 50% accuracy, againt perhaps 5% from my own gunners.

that kind of pissed me off because it put my boat down to 40% hull integrity. i can't imagine that being very realistic, nor historic.

other than that: great stuff
