GWX Gold My Way

Since there doesn't seem to be anything more to add to this Great Mod lately I am starting a career in 8-1-1939.

I play 100% realism and limit TC to 64.

Boat : VIIb with hydrophone upgrade

I modeled my crew from Das Boot and the few books I have.

WO : My Exec with all abilitys.

CE : Mech and Repair

Nav : Helm

SO : Petty Officer with Hydrophone skill

1 Petty Officer with Torp skill ( Das Boot " We grease'em up and shove'em in "

The rest of the crew are young without skills, Yet !

On SHC I set : Malfunctions, seasonal weather and no fatigue. I won't micro manage crew.

I've done my 5 day shakedown and am refitting for 1st Patrol to NordSee.

The things I saw during shakedown from the bridge with binocs were amazeing.

This showed me the really hard work the GWX Team and modders did that I didn't see to appreciate.

This has inspired me to try it this way. Take it slow and easy and enjoy the hard work that was put into this.

The tonnage will or won't come as in real life.

I just want to really enjoy this Mod.

Again I want to Thank all that are responsible for giveing me this enjoyment.


THANK YOU FIREWALL

Sounds like a plan. I'm really learning to appreciate the harbors also. Lots of detail. Plus its the one place you can count on the wind to be less than 12mps.

I like your idea of modeling the crew after Das Boot.
