First off, thanks for all the replies.

AVGWarhawkDon't forget the premature explosions as well. They are worse than the dudes. It kind of gives away your presence. Rough weather can give you the premature detonations. Kind of a two edge sword. You can get in very easy with the weather but all can be for not if the torp prematures on you
How true.

Last night got into a great convoy (9/40) somewhere north of AM53.

It had one Large Tanker, a few Medium Tankers and Small Tankers and a couple Pyro's, in addition to Small Merchants and such.

Weather was 15m winds, overcast, with medium fog.

Got within 540m of a Flower and not detected!!!! (Totally perpindicular to it)

Lined up 2 torps each on a Large Tanker and Pyro. Turned out due to duds, bad weather and my poor aim that I only sunk a Small Mercahant. I evaded on the surface to the rear of the convoy. Sunk a Lake ship that was a straggler but could not catch up to convoy due to weather (it was going at 10kts)

While not the big haul that i wanted , it was a blast. Playing GWX with high realism sure does make you proud even when its not a big score like the constant 100k ton patrols in vanilla SH3.

So once again thank you GWX team
