Going on the wagon...

...by that I mean, I'm making a conscious effort for all future play to remain at 100% manual, and:

not shooting one shot kills. (All shots for all ships with a spread of three minimum.)
not shooting during driving rain or fog,
not shooting during daylight hours,
not shooting at any ship with AoB not between 60° & 120°,
not shooting at more than one ship in a convoy.

Reason:

Trying to keep tonage sunk at realistic levels. No more +30k ton patrols or more than two ships targeted.

cheers,

That, coupled with manual navigation, should make your life pretty interesting.

...I guess its a sign that we've (me) been at it too long...time for some self induced challenges. The game is one thing, but the modders have really made SH3/4 as much fun as can be without getting wet.

I suppose the next thing would be to start assigning JANAC tonnages.

I'm sure it will make the game more challenging and fun

How many torps did the RL kaleun shoot? I reckon normally 2 not?

I'm not sure what game setup your using, but I reckon there is definitely more fun due in the next GWX release

Which 100%? Map updates or no updates?

Here's another option for realism: get some sleep, occasionally.
