First Career w/ GWX

So, this will be my first real career (started already), with GWX 3.0 no less. It will be a forum only LP( no youtube account) and if I could get pointers from you all, that would be much appreciated.

Wilhemshaven

l finish loading to find my u-bot at dock.The band is playing, the nurses waving, and the guy on the motorcycle still isnt moving. I order us to ahead full, and we slide away into the gray morning. Once out of the bay and getting a good look at the KMS Bismarck, we slow down to one-third. Because of the GWX no renown, we will bypass our grid and patrol the Bay of Biscay.

Along the way, we encouner only a small merchant in the wide part of the Channel, to which we give a small amount of 88mm shells before she goes down. Thinking they know the way home, I leave the lifeboats and exit Der Känal.

After sailing around in the BF area for some time, a small,slow convoy is reported, and we puruse. It is March 2, and by the time of our intercept, the night is nearly done. A single destroyer appears to be a lone defender, and my crew knows this one's in the bag. We sneak into postion and unleah hell. Our first victims were a C3 and a small troop ship, both of which are sunk. As we reload the tubes, I throw out a stern shot on the destroyer, a V&W class. It barely misses, passing through the engines' wake. With a fully efficent crew, we reload quickly and send our next targets, a lage merchant and the V&W to the bottom. We surface and sink three large ships before running out of ammo for the 88. We leave the convoy with our bow towards home.

We pull into Wilhemshaven, spirits high and the daytime quiet reveals no issues. Someone offers drinks, and we end there, 28145 tons under our belt. Only one target was French, the rest British.
----------------------------------
This is the first of many reports, which will be spaced out few and far between, as I have limited time in general to even get on now.

(Realism:55%: Limited O2, fuel, ammo, etc, no WP assistance, manual targeting, realistic reload and duds, external camera for eye-candy, and event cam)
