Single Missions in GWX

[silentwayIII]

I was wondering if in the next release of GWX (1.04) could some of the single mission profile be tweeked ever so slightly. It seems that when some of the missions open, your sub is cruising towards contacts at a fast pace, your not on silent running, and you are also very close!

Given that GWX destroyer and escort sensors are a bit more sensitive in this latest version of the mod, the amount of speed your submarines is carrying towards the enemy ships is too fast and would also be too loud.

Considering that the enemy ships could easily be picked up on hydrophones, (less than 10,000 meters) and approximate distance be somewhat determined, a ships captain would approach cautiously once within say 10,000 meters. of his intended target.

Given the current single mission profiles, can the above concerns be addressed?

I like to play the single missions as I'm sure many of us do, but to open the mission with DD's and DE's almost on top you defeats the whole stealth factor and is contrary to actual operational procedures when preparing for an attack.

I may of missed a post on this topic, and if so, could someone direct me to it. I'd like to find out if there are others out there who agree with my line of thought on this topic because I do believe my concerns are valid.

Thanks...SilentwayIII

Its not possible to set silent running for a mission start
But they are being looked at anyway

Hey now...those single missions are a lot of fun! I've been deeply involved in my career lately with my 4th patrol coming up. But if I remember correctly ..the single missions in my game start out "Full Stop" and at periscope level. One more thing...I have absolutely no complaints about the single mission aspects of my game.

Reminds me of a single mission in GWX v1.03 that started with your boat being surfaced less than 100 yards from Duke of York

Was it that 'Iceland' mission?:hmm:

Started this mission yesterday just for fun and ... Yikes! ... was right in the middle of the action!
A battleship was heading towards me, only some hundred yards away. And as you said before my sub was surfaced.

Hope that will be fixed in GWX 1.04.
