Now now, there's nothing wrong with taking pride in your work.

Most stuff is not random in RSRD (meaning few random calls (if any) for escorts.

I was simply thinking of ELITE escorts. Later in the war, in particular, it could get ugly indeed. The kaibokans we both use can be pretty nasty.

Well I feel reasonably happy now... I appear to have mastered the surface attack in SH4... only took me a few hours... not bad.

Have you run into any of the merchants chasing you? Good Lord, first time I had this I was . I was just making a few kts and turned around as I let my gunners fire at the vessel and there was the merchant at 12 kts climbing up my stern. I was surprised to say the least.

I was up off Manila and got a radar contact, moved in to intercept. Right then my wife calls me and i forget to pause. Came back to find the merchant about 3 seconds from ramming me. I know he changed course to do it too. Didn't sink me or anything, but man did my boat roll. I made sure to use a few extra shells on his lifeboats after I sank him

Not bad at all.

With GWX it takes a lot longer, doesn't it?

Not really...

Far as I am concerned, both test me, but each in different ways. I actually learned to surface attack on my first attempt in GWX when I tried it, whereas it took several attempts in SH4, so no... I disagree about that. In any case, SH3 is a totally different game. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges IMO. Which is why I don't do it.

I just wanted to say its quite a nice game.. even though I am not THAT keen on it (currently)... my first patrol went pretty well, winds me up a treat, frustrates me to the hilt, but despite all that... I have a Medal of Honour to show for my first patrol and 50,000 japanese tons at the bottom of the sea! so... I may well dabble again when I get another gap.

Thanks very much gentlemen... I'm going back to the Atlantic now... but best of luck to you all, give them hell!
