Yes on my second patrol i went down there and i sort of engaged a task force with just a deck gun, needless to say i was owned quicker then you could say 'Schnaps.'

Gotta say that GWX is magnificent. Really teaches you to appreciate every single ship you sink. Also the game isn't so lenient with medals and promotions (for you and for the crew). Love it.

With GWX you'll run across plenty of taskforces (like it or not) along the way with anything from just an Auxillary cruiser to several BB's and more. To find larger ships in port good places to look are Scapa, Loch Ewe, Gibraltor, Alexandria among others. Depending on the time period certain area will have a lot of activity; some for specific historical events; others will have more prolonged activity (like the Med in 42-43).

Getting into Loch Ewe was near a suicide mission.
First time the game crashed as I was approaching the coast from the east.
Second time I got in, sunk several ships to a note of 50K. Before all the fighting I went far away from the harbor and was afraid of the fishing boat to spot me but I had to surface to get some fresh air.

On my way out the only reason I got lucky with the DD is, because the IO was stupid.
He would circle around me and when dropping charges they would go too deep.
It was super shallow as well, I barely got out alive with the batteries always going 3 - 5 meters from the floor. I shoot 3 torps at a DD but only one hit due to a bad angle (damn torpedo nets). It is sometime early 1942 GWX 2.
Would not do it again.
Also I modded my crew and virtually all people have some skills. GWX 2 is tough!
