I guess I need to concentrate a little more with GWX 2. I got the opportunity to do my first real patrol since resurrecting my pc and I've noticed one or two slight differences. Started the career in sep 1940 based out of St Nazaire. Patrol area assigned in DH54. First of all I got spotted by a merchant at 4500m in crap weather running with decks awash. No way he could have seen me that fast. I had literally seen his masts (and I mean literally since I was waiting for him to appear) when he opened fire... and hit me with his first round!! Damaged the hull and both periscopes. WTF!!
I limped away and decided to continue with my patrol after making repairs and cursing my luck. Then lo and behold while doing a hydrophone check off the azores in a storm I picked up a merchie short range, medium speed. Up scope and saw a blacked out small merchant about 1000m of my port side, guestimated a speed of 9 knots and fire. Big bang that lit up the storm. Unfortunately it also lit up the Rising Sun flag fluttering from the mast ![]()
