I turned 90° and asked for a depth of 160 mtrs, but only got to 45 when the b*st*rd killed me and my entire crew...
This is the second time in a couple of days that my carreer was ended by an escort of a convoy.
Can't say there is no difference between stock SH3 and GWX in this matter ;-)
I'm not sure that i will try to attack convoys anymore because of this. (and it is 1941, how good get these guys in '44 or '45????)

How do you attack convoys without being detected and killed?

I dont know how this could happen - esp in rough weather - hopefully i wont get an ace crew like this.

Visit my webbie. Lots of good articles on how to attack and stay alive

Better luck in your next carreer.
