Having played SH3 for about two years all heavily modded to be extremely difficult and always at 100% I have only survived two careers. Both GW1.3 (I think maybe one was 1.2??)
But, one was a 1944 so not really a full one and the other was 1.3 and it started early 1943. I doubled or more all escorts for NA convoys (43 on) and no AS vessel was less than crew rated 3 from the start.
If all this sounds like too much well, basically it is/was.
I could not afford to make a mistake with the Royal Navy and paid each time I did with death.
The intensity in Grey Wolves, all versions and now with GWX2 even better, is the best gaming/simming I have experienced.
While I do mod my GWX2 by redoing what escorts and how many based on research for various years it is still small considering how anal I am about historic relevance.

I was doing SH4 for a couple months but while the graphics are better the play does not compare to the NA or GWX2..

I just started a new GWX2 career to see how it all runs this one from the beginning in a TypeVIIB and so far so good, no glitches at all.

I did change the neutral shipping to not be a negative so I could attack ships in the war zone obviously headed to supply the enemy. So far I sank one neutral in two patrols and let 3 pass as only if it is beyond a doubt they are close enough where no other destination is possible do allow myself to attack.
How dumb did that Amerikaneren Schwein think I was?:rotfl:

So far two thumbs up for GWX2

`39 - `40 a bunch, lost track.
`41 - `42 a few, maybe a dozen.
`43 - the death year, bay of Biscay?; pray.
`44 - `45 a big fat zero, with the exception of one carrer made it into 44.

been into 44 - 45 testing, but that doesn't count.

I've been playing SH3 since it first came out, but when it did I was into another FPS game and only played this on the side. Now I'm focusing more on SH3 but the majority of my time spent on it is on testing out sub repaints, so my grand total of completed careers is a big fat 0 !!! But I've got multiple careers going at once so if I focused on one and one alone I would probably have finished 2 by now.

0, Due to the little time I get to play the game and with each upgrade, meaning I have to restart all over again. The longest I've be able to go is late 1944.
