Wired... - Damage question

Thx for your input!

Here comes that mod (but it's for GWX1.02 not 03 and that's the point). On my attached image you can see damage by a single bomb! It took me a week to repair everything and still hydro and funk were destryed... Look at pumping times! With engines doing max 1-2 kts it's kinda scary... Thing is that with full mod sub is lost after reload but than in game when you dive after taking damage it starts to leak heavy! So I need to do some test changing the zon file to adjust it properly.

Can't wait than! Now I feel completely untouchable while going inside a convoy and simply picking targets while reloading tubes... Mid 42, GWX03, full realism...

Yep, with LRT being bombed is scary... submerging is very questionable for days until you get all leakages fixed and water pumped out.

Satisfying to survive it, though!

Are U using LRT for 102 with GWX 103???

It's getting more and more fun to play but today... hmm, I've fixed up a simple test mission with elite Black Swan < 1000m away and me on the surface. Made everything possible to attract it's atention, keep repairing, full flank in the circle, shallow 30m stop, pinging, and somehow they can't bomb me... They even gave it up! I've managed to get a DC hit while using external view to put myself under the incoming DC. Madness! Can someone explain this to me?

make sure the difficulty is set to 100%

I would say it's 150%... LRT, real navigation, immersive behavior to make things harder... eh

need to take a look at cfg's to tweak in game inertia for more realistic/challenging
