GWX is most certainly surviveable... but you've got to think like a U-boat captain now.

I strongly suggest getting a copy of The U-boat Commander's Handbook... 1943 Edition. Mine was about $6.00 U.S. on ebay. Words to live by.

True, it is survivable if you think and react like the u-boat would. As of now I have automatic dive when an aircraft is spotted. I never had that before. So it is auto crash dive for me upon aircraft spotted. My vampire sight is now gone and I submerge more for hydrophone usage. That has worked out well! Shoot, old GW I did not submerge much. All in all, the GWX mod is well thought out and extremely enjoyable. I can't wait to find out more of the things put in

I also agree- GWX is survivable. Our problem is that while we were trying to sneak away running silent and deep, we were still being pinged by a destroyer. I am playing GWX with LRT installed. Before I could get away, we took a direct depth charge hit and it wrecked our batteries and electric motors. After that hit, we were in serious trouble (remember, much longer repair times). Later, we also took damage from several other close depth charges. But it was that first attack that handicapped us and eventually got us killed. Really enjoying GWX.

I also made a mistake in my first patrol

I came to a protected convoy to close and DC spot me and start to fire with all guns, i hade no choise Alarm!!!!

affter a reach 80 meters depth - the dc is turn his "music of death" on
ping - ping - ping

I manage to avoide critical hits - but i suffer couple of lite damages .

Sometimes, surviving a close call is better than sinking ships!

Couldn't agree more! Sometimes you should know that you may loose everything if you attack without considering the events that may occur after the attack.

And it's a good thing, because only sinking ships would get rapidly boring. After you have sunk a good number of ships, the cat and mouse game with the escorts is often more fun. (Until you get overconfident at one point....)
