Nope, you just have to learn to take it up the *** without soap like the rest of us.:rotfl:

I dont seem to find any problems with destroyers in GWX you people claim, im in 1939, i did my first patrol had many encounters with destroyers and only one managed to damage my aft torpedo tubes, i could evade all the others running silent, deep whean i had the chance and always changing course for not being predictable.I had no difficulties at all and im a newbie player, maybe as the years go by this will change.

Problems with DDs do not occur in 1939, but later in the war. After 1943 evading a DD is a real challenge. Early in the war things are sort of OK and if you're a bit careful you can avoid them without a real problem. Later though..........

for this 1939 -40 was called "happy times"

Allies don´t use radars and they set depth charges not very deep.also asw tecnology was not very advanced, and planes availability very limited.

until 41 or more could be very difficult if not impossible heard a stopped submarine at some distance with passive hidrophones in silent running.
(no engines and screws turning, pumps stopped,everybody quiet and silent)

Later, with better active asdic, enigma codes and pouring planes over the atlantic sea allies can turning the tide in the war.

Yes, they would not call those times "happy" if U-boat captains had to dive to 200 meters and go for silent running every time they would detect a DD at 8000 meters, would it?

Seems to be the only thing that doesn't sound right about GWX to me; though since I don't play SH3 anymore, I can't confirm.

I'm in August of 40. It's still the happy times for me. I've never dived below 130m yet to avoid DD's with little to no damage almost every time. During my last convoy attack, there ended up being 6 warships looking for me and depth charging me. I couldn't go deeper than 90m and I slipped away rather easily. And I don't have to rig for silent running at 8000 meters either. It's more like half that, actually.

Now try it with 9 Fletcher DD's in Late 44 as they come at you at 35knts.

I'm usually dead before that time...
