GWX KC Edition - some questions

Mowgli · 03-01-25, 05:10 AM

First off, this release is amazing, game wise and graphically but I have a few questions that are probably applicable to all SH3 versions.

I am on patrol in grid BE late October 1940 and the weather as been windspeed 16 for almost 3 weeks. It is a terrible patrol and I have only sunk 1 ship with two torpedoes, my fuel is down to 50% and my crew exhausted but I will not return to base with all these torpedoes available. My questions are.

How long do these storms last?
I located a convoy but was detected by a corvette that made my life a misery for several hours and despite watching my profile and my RPMs I was eventually down to 160 metres before I lost him.

So what is the hydrophone range of these sub hunters? I could not surface and engage with deck gun because of weather.
Finally, I have always gone to flank speed when depth charges are dropped (depending on how far from my boat). Is this correct or should I wait until they start going off and then increase speed also how long do I have to go back to 50 RPM after the last one drops?
Any information or advice would be welcome
