Presently on 2nd patrol (AM23 just completed) late 1939 when I am Radio contact about "Task Force" coming out SW through the "Irish Sea"
Decide "You win some you lose some " and sail south for possible interception
As luck would have it, come into 20 km of "convoy" (save)
I'm in mountainous seas,Time is 23.55, there are 20+ ships in convoy
Went in...Total disaster...cant see more than 1 target at a time(and whaler ships are crushing me )

well, the weather can also be your friend. Just yesterday i followed a convoy (not a fast task force though) for a day until it got dark. Weather was bad (wind 15, overcast, but no rain) and sight bad too. I had my best watch crew on deck and used auto-mapping. This enabled me to get in good firing position withing the convoy and shot a Nelson-type battleship with 4 eels from 500m - at least 2 critical hits and the BB went down in 30secs. I went deep and silent and the destroyer didnt have a clue where i was because of the heavy see. He didnt drop a single deapth charge!
in a nutshell: if the weather is bad but good enough that you can track your targets to get in good firing position, you have better chances to survive after your attack, cause the sea is "loud"
i play GWX 1.3 with >70% realism (use only auto mapping and auto targetting) and DiD

"I'm getting tearing on the graphics" - try enabling/forcing vertical sync through you Nvidia Control Panel.

"Freezes when loading" - Did you make sure that you got the correct type/speed of RAM? If they all aren't at the same speed, it causes problems... Also, how fast is your processor. If it isn't very fast, 3 GB is way too much RAM for your system to handle.

On the "Tactical " side
Thank you very much Kauliens Breaking contact with this target

On the "Tech" side

The RAM is same DDR2 2x1GB + 2x512MB(original)
Tried Forcing Vertical Sync(made load up problem worse)
So...PCU is looking like weak link
Not at my PC at moment but guess its low end in that area as well
What do you recommend (prepared to spend)

Thanks

Very wise imo, unless you are a master with the hydrophone.

Well the q6600 and ram is dirt cheap right now , to be honest to spend cash on anything else would be a waste of cash imo.
so just spend a bit on the MO and you should be good to go!
should be abl;e to find a decent MB for 200 , 300 for proc , and a hun for ram !
WTF im a bilge rat ..... some way to wecome a guy to the forums !!!!!!!!!!!!
