Just remember:

When you're submerged, they can't see you (duh)
When you're surfaced, they can't hear you
When you're deep enough, they can't ping you
They don't have to have heard you first before they start pinging you (see the GWX Uber AI sticky)
When it's dark they can't see as well
When it's stormy they can't hear as well
When they detect you in shallow waters... kiss good bye to your a***

Unlike stock SH3 1943 is now 100% harder and the war is now 100% against you, you have to learn what to go after and what not to. Try the early years first 39-41 and give them hell but note 1942 is in the balance so you better get up to speed if you want to survive.

If you want to get away from most of the Allied air cover in 1944 get a IXD2 Boat and join the 10th flotilla down under at Penang.

Good luck to you, your going to need it.

Stay away from anything with a gun on it.

I have to disagree Steed, why not try a 1945 mission first, get your cage seriously rattled and almost certainly get yourself killed by the first ship you meet, but remember the lessons you learned for your patrol starting in 1939

or is this the masochists way of dealing with GWX?

Even Herr Ziepel is having troubles in mid 1944!

I nearly got my ass blown off when Tommy decided to crap his bubble-bombs down on me in the good 'ol English Channel.

Take some time to study a convoy before attacking. Watch and learn the escort's patterns.

But as said above, what works in '40 you'll find is suicide in '44.
