Default So I just had my first awesome GWX Moment.

Thought I would share it with everyone, but this may not be new to Veteran Kaluens.


I was stalking a convoy in the AM sectors near scapa slow when I suddenly got a strange sound contact to starboard...well went into external view (I dont use this view to cheat but I was very curious) and low and behold, it was a friendly VIIC submarine no more then 100 meters away from me at periscope depth.

Its too bad the AI subs dont do anything but draw fire but it was very awesome.

Just would like to personally thanks the GWX team for their work.

Done a better job then Ubisoft did thats for sure.

Sergbuto's AI uboats DO fire torpedoes. Although they're invisible

I remember my first encounter with submerged AI sub. It was multiplayer game with the beta testers & some of the dev team. I shot two torps to it, U-571 (yuk!) style.

Well does shooting a couple of acoustic torpedoes at VonHelsing count? Other than that the only AI subs I've ever seen were on the surface. I think I must play the game more

Haha, I've gotten my share of them stupid acoustics. Hunter slammed one to my conning tower and I think I once shot Kpt.Lemon with one.

I was surprized when it was at periscope depth too because well I read the AI on how Subs cant submerge.

No they cant submerge from surfaced
There are a few scripted at PD but IIRC they are having trouble moving
Will be fixed for 1.04 though

Could be very interesting have a moving u-boat at periscope depth, in the convoy wolfpack battles the surfaced boats are sitting ducks
