ATTN GWX Modders....

In 1939-1941, you will avoid air attacks by being discreet when you are close to enemy coasts. If it is clear skies, I usually submerge around dawn -- timed to be at a good choke point -- and dawdle till dusk. If the visibility is poor, I barge on ahead. Once you are attacked by air, though, call it a day. Go below and dawdle. They know where you are and they will keep looking.

There are plenty of ships out there to sink. Go into the Hebrides Strait, and then down into the Western Approaches.

Or, if you are in a IID, work the English coast... its out there.

SH3 with GWX3 is a beautiful game of patience and skill.

There are plenty of ships around it's just a matter of finding them. The areas north and south of Ireland, Just west of Gibralter, Around the english Channel (Just Becareful there, Lots of Naval ships and Aircraft) and if you really want ships hit Scapa Flow (but stay submerged)

Also I have avoided aircraft's by sticking to the convoy lanes, staying out of range for aircraft. In my first career I was attacked LOTS by aircraft, but I have yet to see a single one in this career. I'm on my ninth patrol in mid 1940

Grids AM51-53,55 And the northern parts of BE-BF are where I sink most of mine

grid BE, CF, CG are the probably best areas.
and in 1942 you could challenge the coast of Nova Scotia and NewFoundland, if you are brave.

250km west of Gib (insider information).

I shy away from visiting this zone, but I'm craven and afraid of air-craft ....

It can be either fatal or very rewarding

I tried this once. You'll find my old sub somewhere near the grand banks on the bottom.

Not enough ships?? Too much air attacks?? Wake up mate this is a sim maybe it's you who is wrong and not GWX!
Not enough ships? As said before patrol near gibraltar, western approaches, rockall bank, SW of iceland, caraibean sea
Too much air attacks? Stay off air patrol coverage

I don't want to be harsh but sometimes...
