To the GWX team

[AVGWarhawk]

I finished my first GWX patrol. Pyro Ammo ship WOW and she is so beautiful when she goes under some cannon fire Anyway, for the first time I actually sailed in to port (usually I just hit escape and dock when I hit the bay) all the way to the band and nurses because golly days....I REALLY THOUGHT I ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING!

It really felt like a patrol as it was....planes, warships, all the new vessels. The skins are outstanding. Nothing parallels my first experience with GWX. BTW whoever worked on the u-boat rolling with the surf I have had to change my tactics from the start with GWX. That 'Be Aggressive' crap BDU sends....hell man, you come on out and be aggressive....these people are trying to kill me and it is only 1939. Excellent job!

Maybe the boys working on SH4 should get you on the payroll

Wayt untill you find the first Convoy...
And when the Hunt Destroyers, start to pin you down like hell

There you will have to use all your brains and intelegence with your skill,
to see surface again....

It hapend to me allready and, mate that is really fun and hard to rock bro...
Now you will have to stop your engines to full them, and run at low speed, as deep as you can go...

You will see...

yes, thoses escort warchips are hard to feint...
When they catch you, they won't let you go so easily
Anyway, it's a little "funnier".

But I think there is absoloutly no way out within 50m under the surface... and that's a bit frustating

Change of tactics definitely!

Once you fire on a convoy, get down as deep as you can, as quickly as you can without tipping off the escorts.

Work your way out from them to reload, and recharge the batteries, then head back in to them again.

Repeat this as long as your ordinance holds out.

I understand your


But you have to act and think like a U-Boat Captain would...
Example:

Lets say you found a Convoy and fierd and sunk the
Hunt or warship leading the convoy, first you have to search is
using your periscope, spoting the other escorts reaction movement,
they will start imediately looking for you ...

So go as deep as you can go and at the same time when
diving run the engine for a wile , not to mush time, at full speed
change direction when you are diving, and low the engine
speed after you submerge the Sub completly, activate
Silent running and go deep as you can at slow speed,
If they start Pining you down, make small direction changes
from time to time, and what i do a lot is to stop engines
completly, remember that your engines sound is one of the
things they can ear with their Hidro. so keeping that in mind
you have to run at low speed when you are been hunted...

If you stop your engines from time to time you will see that
the stealth meter will turn green again, the reazon for this is that
above they loose your sound contact, so they will go nuts,
trying to find you, stoping your engines for some minutes will give
you a chance of thinking and geting them Without your
Diesel sound and that can be the chance for you to think
what to do and ear their engines above on surface, and from
that calculate if they are passing by, or just in a frustrating search
for your Sub....

Imagine you have your eyes closed, and someone is walking
nearby you, you could thru that know that person location
Thru his sound steps.... Now imagine he stops, you would be
without the sound reference and would get unsure of his location...

Keep this in your mind when you lead your crew...
