destroyers in gwx

[rascal101]

Hi there,
I just started a new career in 39, and jumped a convoy in 35 meters off UK Eastern coast in a bad storm. I found it easy to loose the destroyers going to speeds of as little as 1 knot, even turning engines off at times.

The destroyers seemed a little dumb, as it’s only the beginning of the war, I think I was lucky, the corvettes were only mildly threatening; while the destroyers were more of a challenge.

Finally shook the escorts late at night and made a surface attack, and wow, GWX team, you have done it, the laser light show to end all. search lights star shells the lot.

Impressions so far. Night time attacks are very good, damage model seems to be good, loved hitting a Pyro and destroyer, boy did they explode nicely, great sound too.

A little worried as the escorts seemed a little stupid, but what the hell it's only 1939 and they have a thing or two to learn. Kind of missed the destroyer patrols from NYGM, but again its early days yet.

Thanks GWX team

PS Looking forward to a fix that allows raising and lowering the radio direction finder on the conning tower, then I recon SH3 will be about there.

Yes Ref ran out of time to include that
He is only one man after all

Hopefully in a planned update

Ok about the new tatics and the not so arcade game...BUT we will release a more easy sensors mod to GWX soon.
Just wait a bit until the release dust go away!

PS: And, yes, in the GWX manual we have a very good and interesting text about how to survive against these DDs.
