New way to avoid DDs with GWM...

[gonzosts]

Played the game in stock and with recommendation from the forum here downloaded and installed the GWM. 100% realism...cant get passed the first single mission. I love this mod.

Last night I played same mission again (I'll keep trying until I succeed). I went deep and fast to get under the DD/DE screen for the three cruisers. Came up to PD, Locked and loaded a salvo at the first cruiser, flooding and fired all four fish. Spun the scope around 180, locked on to a DD looking up my skirt and fire the rear fish at him. Was a miss which I figured it would be just wanted it to give me time to get to the floor. by the time I reached 170m, I had at least two DDs pinging and dropping ash cans. Lost the bridge, attack scope, and flooding in engineering by the time I reached 240m.

Using the "outside" cam, I checked out my front fish wish. two hit the first cruiser in the rear and one hit the second cruiser in the bow. I now have three DD/DEs pinging and dropping ash cans on my like a broken penyatta. The last (five) times I've played this mission I have died not long after this point but, I've not has this many hits. I had set my rudder at about 10 degrees so I am doing circles to keep out of the line of cans coming down on me. I have the observation scope up about half way as that is as far as it will go (my bridge is FUBAR). The outside cam meanwhile shows that the first cruiser is dead in the water (whoohoo). The to fish must have put the engine room on R&R. The second cruiser is sinking (can't figure that one out with just one fish in the bow). I go back to the observation scope and I can see the hull of the first cruiser above me. I have motored over and under it and now I'm sitting under the first cruiser, and the DD/DEs runing around me like I peed in their wheaties.

I have kept manuvering my sub so that I'm under the cruiser, i've stopped the flooding, the third cruiser is almost out of site (using the outside cam). When will the frigging DD/DEs leave the area so I can finnish off the cruiser above me and I can successfull end this mission. I have it saved at this point. Sinking the second cruiser has satified the mission critical part, but I want to end it by getting this dead duck and sailing for home.....

we need a mod for titanium hulls, catapillar drive, and subrocks.
