Yeah, it'll do until something better comes along.:rotfl: Sorry, I'm in one of those moods.

How do you go about taking out the merchant ships that you are assigned to do around New York when they are escorted by armed trawlers and destroyers??? The minute I pop one of the merchant ships, the others are all over me.

If they're escorted, let them go. There are unescorted ones. Also, you can lie in wait further offshore, in deeper water.

Also, if im in shallow water like that, can I shoot off a torp, then turn off engines and run in silent mode and not be detected, even though the water is shallow???
|
Not really. Shallow water is an invitation to an early grave, especially in a realistic mod like GWX.

Another question, do I "have" to use the periscope and have the target I am shooting at identified in my notepad before I can shoot off the torp, or can I be submerged and shoot torpedos from a good distance underwater???

You can shoot torpedoes any time you like, as long as you are at 25 meters or less (the doors won't open deeper than that). A favorite method at close range is to point the scope straight ahead and wait until the target moves into view, then 'guesstimate' and fire away.
Oh, and for a fuller campaign experience I always recommend SH3 Commander. It will make a whole lot of little things change in a big way, and make it much more "real".
