From the start GWX even in 1939 the destroyers can locate you with surprising accuracy and so force you to go silent which is really slow going and can be boring at times. I am usually pretty successful at this game, but it still infuriates me that it is constantly hard from the outset. I have read other books from uboat captains and servicemen and they all say it was easy to avoid destroyers and employ surface tactics. Is there some kind of way to make the difficulty less so until 1943?.

Iron coffins is a great read, but considered by some, including myself... to be a questionable source for U-boat loss related research. For that we look to Clay Blair and U-boat.net.

Based on months of research, modding, testing, and adjusting, we feel we have a logical progression of sensor / lethality.
