GXW is giving me a beating!

For the first time in SHIII, I am REALLY afraid of attacking a convoy.

For the first time in SHIII, I really feel the danger of staying on the surface.

Been air attacked 8 times in the last 48 hours, when leaving off Bergen and passing over England. Not only one airplane, but each wave with at least 4.

Even schorkelling its dangerous. I have been attacked 3 times while in TC 128.

I detected a convoy, but constant air attacks never gave me the opportunity to reach the area. I'm already at 70% hull, and only sank one DD (testing my new Falke torpedo, hehehe - Sweet Vengeance!!!)

I didn't want to be transferred to Penang (I "own" a IXD2), so I left Lorient and now my base is Bergen. Wondering if that was a smart move, as now I'm near the big action, and in Feb/44. Ouch!!!

Another day I found a convoy with 7 DDs. I tried to attack, and learned a lesson. Died.

I restarted the career, because I was not used to GWX. But from now on, I will play Dead-is-Dead.

My excuse is that it's difficult to understand the new reality when you play from Day 1 with vanilla SHIII, then upgrade to Rub, then TGW, and when you face GWX - WOW!

Thanks for the dev team of GWX for bringing a more realistic environment to my simulation!

PS: By the way, what TC do you recommend to use in GWX, and in 44?

I haven't reached 44 yet. But I think the lower the TC, the better the chances not to be caught with your pants down. Good luck!

GWX will kill you so fast you will not see it.

I love this mod and I am addictive to it, pass me more GWX. Yea the good stuff.

That's good to hear rfunes

I've just read another thread which refers to GWX as 'eye candy' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Eye candy

How dare they, put them up against the wall and give them a good soaking with a high powered water gun.

Obviously a user of one of the other errr mods

Eye candy, yeah... :rotfl:

Tell this to my u-boat repair team. They are working like crazy.

Now it's clear that those Flaks (and the deck gun) in GWX '44 are 100% useless. If you have a situation that you really need them, enjoy. It will be the last...

For my next patrol, I will use the SH3 Commander "remove deck gun" option. That is, if I survive this one...
