TO: Complaint Dept.... WTF

OMG Have a heart....

I am on my 2nd Patrol GWX 2.0, so far it seems the merchant vessels have been left in the dryer to long. I feel like Im looking at a christmas miniature everytime I spy on a convoy. Where are the big ships? Why add a Granville "Pain"? When you could have added Exxon Valdez Class?

I have been wandering the NE of Grid BE for about 2 weeks and seen only teeny tiny coastal vessels and granville "pain"s. At this very moment I am closing in on a medium merchant... YES A MEDIUM!!! Hooorah !!! Something over 2k tons!

Unfortunately my watch officer failed to cry out when this vessel was spotted due to the fact that he collapsed from a heart attack. It was just too much for him to see such a large vessel filling his binoculars.

Also I tracked this contact which I am compelled to include a screenshot of...

Oh yes theyre back..! And more reoccurring than ever...! seen twice in 2 weeks, in the same small area of the Atlantic.. Thats right.. back by popular damand....

THOSE DAMN IRISHMEN... In THERE NEW GIGANTIC CLASS TANKERS!!



Well next time I see them... Im just gonna sink em an adjust my renown accordingly... SO PHOOEY ON YOU!!

BTW loving GWX 2 ...besides the fact that Im ripping my hair out chasing the new wee contacts around the Atlantic.

This is done so as to reduce tonnage scores to more reasonable levels.

Mind you, its still possible to sink over 100k if you really really push it and get lucky.
