Hi all, just a few newbie questions. I have downloaded the GWX mod and LOVE it. Great job to all who worked on it. I am trying to run the mission where you are off the coast of New York in shallow water. I am new to the game kind of so I am trying to learn techniques and stuff in the game. How do you go about taking out the merchant ships that you are assigned to do around New York when they are escorted by armed trawlers and destroyers??? The minute I pop one of the merchant ships, the others are all over me. Also, if im in shallow water like that, can I shoot off a torp, then turn off engines and run in silent mode and not be detected, even though the water is shallow???

Another question, do I "have" to use the periscope and have the target I am shooting at identified in my notepad before I can shoot off the torp, or can I be submerged and shoot torpedos from a good distance underwater???

Thanks all for your help and I REALLY appreciate any tips/tricks you can help me with.....
