GWX Aircraft: Too dangrous!

WilhelmSchulz. · 03-17-07, 03:06 PM

The Aircraft in GWX are even too dangrous for a XXI! Im in 44 and I nearly got killed while snorkling. I had a scope up to spot them and that didint help!

I'm right the moment in my WaW patrol with GWX mod. It's september 1943 and I very much like how often the aircraft shown up

. It's a very interesting, about 4-5 crash diving for night. Yes this is real in that period of war. Just like I read in "Iron Coffins". I'm very satisfied with GWX and thanks the team for this great feeling in game. Yes, the aircrafts are the nightmare like in real life of U-boot commanders. GWX is great mod I must said! With a couple of mods by Ducimus from NYGM and nvdrifter LRT light, great for me!

But Im using a bloody snorkle!

Your snorkel is visible from the air as it leaves a wake
Is also picked up by radar

IIRC the late war sensors add a RWR atop the snorkel so you know they are coming

Not meaning to be argumentative, but is there any proof of that?

Using a snorkel, a sub couldnt do more then 2 or 3 kts or it would knock the mast down. That can't leave much of a wake. And visibility of that is doubtful if you consider sea state (even small waves can obscurve visilbity with an object that size), and altitude and speed of an aircraft. In short, it was more then likely, TOO SMALL to see unless it was glassy calm sea.

Radar however, is another matter.

And they are useing radar.

1) Pick up the snorkel on radar
2) see the big, white, 500m+ long wake
3) See the big dark shadow just below the water
4) Boom!

Yep, aircraft in the stock game were just silly.

Sounds like GWX got it right to me.
