A few questions

[Vandecker]

Having recently come back to SH3 after a hiatus of a year or so I need a couple of questions answered.

Last time I sailed I used GWX, as a result I never did make it past the mid 1940's. A combination of destroyers being too good, me being inexperienced and too reckless. (Unfortunately due to internet usage caps in Australia I can't download GWX again for a few weeks)

Playing with Stock now I have surivived into 1941 and am wondering when the Type VIIC/41 becomes available. Until it does I'd prefer to stick with my VIIB unless there are some major advantages to the VIIC that I am not aware of.

Also is there any way to modify the game so that upon close map contacts, convoy radio reports and any surface contacts the game is automatically paused. I've been looking around and thought SHIII comander gave you the option but I can't find it. I'm quite busy at the moment so I kind of need to be able to move around and do other things whilst my sub is sailing round the Atlantic.

Also, just how often should you be finding convoys? I've recieved 2 reports of them in seperate patrols but both times have been in a crappy position to intercept.

In the Meantime loving this game once again, thanks to finally getting the hang of manual targetting (at least at 90 AOB) I sunk 50K on my last patrol for the first time ever.
