Problems with GWX 3.0 Gold - post here to list known and unknown problems

[Paul Riley]

I now want to include two more recent observations I made about 30mins ago.I am not saying they are problems,just unique observations.

1- Torpedo damage seems somewhat reduced this time,in some cases by a large margin.Earlier in training I hit the large cargo ship with 2 impact torps set near the surface,then 1 mag under the keel,yet it still remained afloat,and needed a 4th to sink it proper.What exactly does this represent regarding real life conditions?

2- Underwater conditions are VERY dark now (more noticable through the scopes),even just under the surface its practically black.Is this a problem or was it intended?,to give a greater feeling of suspense and isolation.Dont get me wrong,its a great effect,I am just curious

#1-Yep-no more single shot sinkings every ****ing time against large ships, like in the stock game. Lots of threads about that but I think it very realistic.

#2-I do recall seeing something from one of the GWX team that the dark water is intended.

#1 forces us to be more selective and economical with our torpedoes eh,crafty,but I like it

#2 The more I think of it,what practical use is there for being able to see well underwater?other than to see ships pass over you at about 25m,which is a nice thing to have,but not essential.In real life,and I have never been in or over an ocean I imagine it to get very dark very quick

Oh and thanks for the TSP updates!
