Boy - seems like bad luck. I get shot at a lot and they rarely hit me. I'm surprised he landed one at 4000m. Often after I hit a convoy I'll surface to finish a wounded merchant and an escort will come screaming back to engage me. I'll wait till the rounds start landing near me before I dive and escape. I find it's rare to take a hit when you're facing away from them (narrow profile). Every now and again I take a hit, but even then, I've never had any serious damage from it - hull damage maybe. But never damage to systems. Come to think of it, I've never had my deisels knocked out. Kinda sad really - I always seem to die outright, or take no damage at all. I never get those close calls, or hairy damage situations.

i think GWX simulates radar ranging after like 1943?

so it is possible that early in the war several shots will miss before you start getting peppered.

late in the war however i have noticed that destroyer shots are almost always spot on first shell out of the berrel.

While checking out GWX with an old Vavilla career that reached mid 43, discovered GWX escorts were deadly on the surface. Since then I don't mess around the surface except when I'm sure a lonely merchie is not armed.

What the hell is a 1943? I thought the world stopped spinning when it reached March 1940?
