I do have GWX on the unstable gun platform was the reason I hit its gun.
I got a lot of exp. in surfaced combat, GWX makes it hard but it just means you need a bit more skill:

You need to know which guns to hit first.
You need to know your enemys ship.
You need to know the limits of your boat and her crew.
You need to manage several conpartments at once.
and have a very highly skilled repair team.

If the enemy turns the tables on you dive as far as the boat will go.
The U boat I had there went to about 200m and I could hold her there
untill we ran out of air or batterys.

Besides it adds a whole new level to the game.

Also its a smart way to trick the enemy because if a U-boat/sub spots an enemy it will dive to attack or evade. It works wonders too the enemy think they have the element of surpraise but in fact your waiting for them and enemy ship don't zig-zag unless they know you're attacking them.

An escort bearing down on a confirmed contact in GWX3.0 will zig zag towards the target.

Yes but the thing is thats an escort


Besides the question that still needs to be anwsered why didn't it sink?




(I know I'm sounding like an ass at the minute sorry but I'm just steamed about losing my career to the ship that can't sink)

Mr Doe could you rephrase that I'm a soldier not an English teacher.

To answer your first question every second I wasted meant that the convoy was a second closer so I needed to act fast.

A uboat has many advantages, such as it's small hard for a warship to hit at short range due to its guns being elevated, Not just stealth.

(I can tell you've got a good deal of exp.)

All I can say is this:
GWX has NO bugs!
WTF is that,
Where did that come froms,
How did that get messed ups,
Who left this or that outs,
And a few oops.
(MAYBE!)
But NO BUGS!

Yes.
Features.
BUT!!
Any BUGS were, and remain, STOCK SH3 BUGS!
GWX did not introduce any new creepy crawlies!
Most of the save Games issues?
StarForce!
CTDs in some areas if you zoom view?
StarForce!
I could go on and on about this.
But I won't.

That quote has nothing to do with SH3.
Why would you even use it?

SH5 has nothing to do with SH3 issues.

Ok guys, Good news I ran some tests last night and I found out that this is a stock game bug that is also in GWX, The only way you can sink a Trible Destroyer is with an eel the deck gun will not sink it.

You might also want to bear in mind that 'by your own description' all the damage was above the waterline therefore no or little flooding will have occured.

Pleased your sorted.

BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!!
