P_Funk - I appreciate your advice (and I by no means shy away from a challene at all, that's why I have a high reality rating on), but the point I was making was more that they know where I am no matter what I am doing... I can sit on the sea floor right next to a wreck and they find me (nothing going, silent rigging on), even 100 mtr below the surface in a violent storm - sorry, but even today's hunters have a hard time matching that feast... It is one thing of being outfoxed in a fair fight, but quite another if the opponent uses a set of rules not available in r/l...

Don't get me started on the r/l scenarios - in the timeline I am playing U-boots were hunting in packs - not one U-boot against five or six DD's... My grandfather was a U-boot Kommander and I remember quite a bit of what he told me about it and what I read in his manuals and other books he kept - this is where my fascination comes from in the first place... I don't meant to pee anybody off (especially not those that spend all those countless hours making the mod, respect to you guys), but you might want to have a read of Otto Kretschmers Biography - he went right into the centre of the convoy and took it from there (re-enactment of that is impossible with the settings in GWX as it is, I am sorry to say, and that is defeating the object of the game imho)...
