Maintaining depth in GWX

Well if it's another part of GWX realism I'll have to deal with it just like a real Kaleun.

It's just bad that the game can't recognize anything over 2 knots as silent running because the XXI was able to go 5-6 knots being as silent as other boats going 2.
That would've been a great advantage. Going really silent and still being able to maintain extreme depths.

You could always mess with Trim and Drain................

Actually, I think you will find if you set for 4 knots, the XXI can still be unheard, if the destroyer is very very close you will need to slow down, but distance variables factor in I believe you should be able to go a bit quicker than 2 knots, but slower then 5 knots and remain unheard.

You will have to play with it. I use GWX myself and have spent a lot of time learning the ropes to become a better player and catch up with these guys here.

Learning by doing i guess....

I already overestimated the abilities of the XXI. Had to let an Illustrious-class and 3 Didos go away because i thought that i am now some sort of invisible to any escort. Got depthcharged by 6 of them before i even was in position to shoot.

Luckily i got away with little damage but i now will treat this "wunderwaffe" just as it was my old VIIC.
