The work the dev team has done on GWX is awesome...period! I've only been using the mod for less than a week (only single missions) and my comments reflect that.

I take issue with a single mission opening and I'm sliding forward at 4 kts, (what captain...if he wanted to survive, would be travelling at that speed so near enemy ships) but slowly decreasing speed and my submarine is rising enough in the water to expose the very top of my conning tower while I'm still moving forward! Some of the new missions put you very close to GWX's amped up DD's/DE's. This, in light of several posts regarding AI behavior of enemy escorts seems...not fixed.

Some of the comments made by persons to my original post have simply taken my comments TOO personally...TOO defensively. Get a Life. Hey its a great mod...I just want it to be even better!

I think you have to understand that most here on this board are historians to a large degree, myself included. Among many venues of interest is this one...military WWII.

The GWX team used many reliable and credible sources as their reference for developing the mod...not the least of which includes behavioral physics of the U-Boat depending on the variant.

You also have an "older" crowd here I suspect...myself included and as such, the ambience is one of educated and dry humor. I appreciate that.

With no offense intended, it sounds as though you may want, as one veteran here describes it, a "modified arcade game". That you will not find in GWX. It's a tough, thinking strategy simulation...I wouldn't even classify it as a "game" as there is too much hardcore history behind it.

Get used to 2kts max and a bouyant tendancy when submerged!

Little discrepancies there may be...and in time I'm sure they'll get worked out. Of course, what we'll have then is the real deal and no need for a computer based interpretation!

Now...what marina am I going to keep a 211' long Type VIIC at?
