do i have to stick to these orders or are they just for immersion. e.g would i lose renown for attacking a French steamer thats unarmed??
2. DD`s can detect you at 3knts but the boat wont rise upwards so run 2knts at PD depth but then the boat rises out of the water. how do you avoid this happening cant dive much deeper or you cant see out of the periscope.
3. why does it take 2+ fish just to sink a tramp steamer?? whats a BB gonna be like to sink?? in single mission i did i fired 5 fish at an aircraft carrier did even slow it down or make her list in the slightest!!
4. whats with all the ports over in Australia an stuff can i go there and sink ships too?? and what kind of boat would i need to get there its a long way!
5. in the indian ocean on the nav map there are lots of kind of dotted lines what are these for?
sorry for the bombardment of questions its just such a big change from stock!!
thanx again to JasonSagert for making this possible for me to play
and thanx to the GWX team for creating such an awesome mod

First of all I'm happy you finally got your GWX and you enjoy it.
Now answers:
1. The messages are historic and eye-candy. They have nothing to do with you or your renown. From the 3rd of September you can sink as many French and British you like.
2. To avoid exposing your boat always set the depth a bit lower that what you want. e.g. PD at 15-16m and you should be OK
3. I don't agree with you. Tramp Steamers usually go down within an hour with one torpedo. Larger ships need more hits but usually any BB or CV should go down with 5 hits. I guess you were just unlucky.
4. You can go to Australia from the bases in the far east. From 1943 onwards you can join the Penang flotilla with IXC and IXD2.
5. These are the patrol areas. You will not get renown for them though as they did not exist in the original game. I would suggest you check the manual and the flotilla news (if you press F1 during game play)
