i just started a new campaign this morning in 1941 with a type IX and sailed south towards dakar. about halfway there i got a report of a small convoy just 30 miles east of me so i hustled over there. it was about midnight, 7 knot winds and heavy rain. the ships seemed very spread out with only one escort. i could only see ships within about 800-1000m but that was enough i think. after a couple of hurried attempts went bad, i made a perfect attack on a freighter. distance was about 550m and i was lined up perfectly, and on the surface. i COULD NOT get a lock on the guy. no one on my crew even recognized that there was a ship there even though it was plain as day. my watch crew was maxed out too. so the freighter sailed on and i missed my chance. it was so discouraging i just quit the game right there.

this is in GWX3. why is it so hard to get a lock on targets in gwx? what am i supposed to do about this? its so frustrating!
