OMG Wolf pack in GWX!!!!

[GT182]

Codmander, I just ran that one and it was good. Not a field day but we sank 3 T3s and 3 Large Cargo ships. Most all took at least 3 torpedos to sink them. Only 1 went under with one shot. Even 90 degree shots needed 3 hits.

[FongFongFong]

odd, large tankers seem to have weak structures, and take 12-15 minutes to sink from 1 hit mid-ships.

Large cargo, 1 midships = maybe sunk, 2 midships = faster sinking

But special targeting seems to be only an illusion.

Now that is just freek'in cool!

Amazing. That could explain somehting for me though. Once when I was encountering a convoy in the Atlantic I could see that one of the escorts was burning I didn't really knew why....I guess I know now....

Ah you found my little secret
:rotfl:
Hopefully one day with proper AI torps the boats can be submerged also

[bookworm_020]

Didn't Serg create AI torps for the Elco's?? Could that be used for GWX??

Thank you GWX team!!! We are no longer the only sub in the ocean!!

Does this mean we can call from renforcement from a U-Boat pack when we send a contact report???

[bigboywooly]

Not sure if they will come with a radio report
Possibility I suppose

Yes Serg did create an AI torpedo effect using a shell to simulate the fish - being fired from a gun
Its a great work a round but the GWX Guns.dats were altered already and would have taken a lot more plus we hold out hope of maybe having a proper AI torps one day

Soo a little "easteregg" from Bigboywooly. Hehehe

It was the best experience ive had so far in this game. It added a lot too the sim feeling.

I went stright into the convoy whitout any trouble.
I took out one of the "guards" whit a rear shoot. It turned out to be a swan frigate and he was crusing at 5 knots, same heading at distance of 2600 meters.
I waited untill the Eel had travled for 1 1/2 minute before i took me on the merchants. I wanted the T2 Eel to hit the frigate first before any merchants was hit so he dont change his course and start looking for me.

I sunk 5 merchants 1 pyro and 1 whale factory ship amongst thos, and also that swan.

But then i was forced to dive deep cuz thos 2 destroyers i thought was gone in the battle between the subs was fully alive

Dived down to about 150 meters so i nearly scratched the bottom.
And to my suprise they got reinforcement from a lonely frigate that suddely came up and wanted to be a part of the hunt. That boat was a patrol boat and was not part of the convoy.
So i had 3 dangerous ship against me.

Lots of evasive maneouvers, and deept charges but after some hour they gived up.
it was quite thrilling when they pinged me and found me and i could hear they closing in and just above me, but they didnt drop any charges. PHIUUUUUU.

I survived just to let Dönitz send me into next patrol and battle

I know,, its a dirty job but someone has to do it,, :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[bigboywooly]

Yes its always nice when you feel you have company

Glad you survived
