GWX fixes this by moving the needle from "intrepid" to "are you out of your mind?"

Depends. For example, I have played a Black Sea campaign by mostly raiding harbors and have been relatively successful. Wouldn't try it in the Atlantic, though: with all the convoys in the high seas the risk is just not worth the reward, unless it's some specific capital ship you are going after.

Harbor raids in stock SH3 are a great way to rack up tons - especially Iceland, and the Carribean ports of Trinidad andAruba (fat tankers; no serious protection).

After installing GWX, I visited all the harbors in England, Scotland, France, and New York PRE-WAR on the surface, just to see what might be sitting there. With very few exceptions, it wouldn't be worth the risk after war is declared.
