First GWX patrol...

Oh I agree with that. GWX cannot change the AI though. That is coded in C++ in the executable, so even though GWX turned up sonar to realistic levels and adjusted all kinds of configurations, we are still stuck with that AI.

Now, I am on patrol three. If you thought that AI was bad, holy crap it is hilarious at Scapa Flow. I have always sneaked into Scapa and sunk ships. I slowly crept in from the southeast entrance. Dodged quite a few destroyers! Once I went north through the tiny area in the southern section, the retards landed.

An oil tanker runs aground and explodes to the northeast. A destroyer runs aground and explodes just a tad to my east. Another destroyer runs aground a hair north and then west of me, splits in two, and the tail and nose stick up next to each other. I have screenshots to upload later.

Anyway, I creep into port. This is October 7th, 1939. I creep up to the port and find a revenge battleship and the HMS Hood out from the port a hair. They are to my east. I turn and use two eels each, and they go down. The retard destroyer at the port does not even fire up his engines. He sits there next to a sunk troop ship of some kind. Also, a few ships in port apparently ran up onto the beach and caught fire. It was pretty.

I reload and creep out of port and what do I see to the west? An auxiliary cruiser! I start towards it and see something farther west. What is it? The HMS Nelson! I turn the Nelson and the cruiser into subs and am very happy with my 120,000+ tons.

I now surface and start touring the area. I get plenty of screenshots of the destroyers on the beaches. In fact at this point I hear "Enemy ship is engaging us" in German. I look around and see nothing. I check my map and see one on the other side of a land mass steaming at my wide-open. I zoom in at the UZO and watch as he steams right up onto the beach and goes kaboom! Damn I wish I had Fraps running!

I am now moving to my patrol zone with no forward eels and all of my rear eels. Should be fun. I will post screenshots later.
