Well I am glad to hear that I am not the only one getting my clock cleaned....I have noticed that the PT boats are a lot more lethal in GWX...before I would stay on the surface and shoot it out with them.......not any more....the damage to the boat is too costly.......I had it out with a whaling ship sticking two eels in her and then surfacing to finish her off....well after taking a few bursts from her gunners I sank her.....and then went to chase a convoy nearby....I TCd with out checking for damage and was soon faced with the screen telling me the U boat was destroyed by flooding.......I didnt think we had much more than a scratch.......that was my third patrol..........back to the drawing board.......

In the past, I thought that Prien didn't gone through the 10th patrol is his shame... but getting through 1 patrol is really tough when I use high realism (70%) when compared to what I used to (40%)

But don't mind, many commanders only sunk 1 sips and got wasted in only 1 or 2 patrols. Some even went straight to the Heaven in the first patrol... no ship sinking
you can see many of them in uboat.net, in U-boat of the day

Yeah, thats were I looked. So if I get past three in the early 40's I feel pretty good.

Captain, just what was told to you by the good medic and his war patrol stash of cheer? Drinking and uboat driving do not mix but it sure helps during the slow periods

Just start a new carreer in 1939. I play d.i.d with difficulty sets to 100%
So i begin with U-6 a type II-A. Base: Kiel

First patrol: 1 ship sunk for 7200 tons. attacked also a small merchant with the two last torpedoes but they didn't explode although good firing position within 600m. So 3 of 6 torpedoes didn't explode on mission 1...

Second patrol: not finished, but left Kiel 10/14/39 and don't encounter targets yet (10/26/39). Gone near hartlepool and been depthcharged by.. an armed trawler. The sound of the explosions are really really frightening. He hit me on his first attack run (minor damages) and failed to hit a second time but it was really close.

For the moment i think that GWX provides everything i expect with this game: Few targets (look at uboat.net: A lot of kaleuns made patrols with no ships sunk) but a lot of different ships (remember stock SH3), illuminated ships (what a bright idea!)aggressive and accurate escorts, moments of extreme tension..., feeling that your death is near, no more carreers with 1.000.000 tons sunk, for all of that I LOVE IT

Happy new year to all of you! and infinite thanks to GW dev team

It's very heartening to see that GWX hasn't dampened your new year spirits

Sitrep:

First career with GWX @ 84% realism, September 1943, no Snorkel (U-389 Ltn. Heilmann): 31 air attacks within 11 days on sea. Hull integrity 30%, lethal hull demage after crash dive at 130 meters, R-I-P on first sailing.

Second career with GWX @ 84% realism, May 1942 in the Med (U-577 Ltn. Schauenburg): sunk by a Catalina in an deliberate shoot-out, my mistake, I should have dived, R-I-P on first sailing.

Third career with GWX @ 84% realism, December 1943, no Snorkel (U-972 Ltn. König): only surfaceed during night, nevertheless 24 air attacks in 9 nights. Still alive with hull integrity 85%, but on sea and facing 30 or so more air attacks on my march back to St.Nazaire.

The BdU is worried: Seems that the enemy has a new very effective ASW weapon called GWX

Cheers,
AndyW

currently U-792 König, 1st patrol 12/1943 [SH3 + GWX 1.0 @ 84% realism]
Total: 10 careers, 40th sailing, 856 days at sea, 544,474 tons sunk

I played 6 patrols than i surrended to a english DD ....They made me surface the boat because i was out of oxigen!! WOW,very realisitic !! When i surfaced they sunk me in 30 seconds .... shootin at me with all they have... a sailor trowed a deep charge inside my connin tower than closed the hatch .
Anyway....im actually on my 2nd career at 6th patrol and still alive.

[Morts]

palla DD's arent that hard
not even in 1945

[Cap.Palla]

i thought that too but when i surfaced he shot me with cannons and MGs and took a very short time to sunk my boat ...but maybe my hull was already damaged a bit (i hide the hull integrity)
