Wed true

hello how to have a realistic thank you

[WernherVonTrapp]

Yes, by all means, please do.:D

[Daniel Prates]

Come again?

[Armistead]

I think he's asking how to make the game or his wedding night more realistic. The good news is realistic sub tactics work great for both, correct plotting, course, range, when to raise the scope, but most important, proper evasion after a successful attack...

However, silent running is probably the most important..:O:.

You guys are killing me!!! :rotfl2:

hello how to have a realistic thank youWhat country are you from, or what is your native language?. Because the translation is impossible to understand.

Though Armistead and HowFar seem to be experts in cryptography. Thumbs up. :yeah:

[Armistead]

Us older wiser skippers need to help the young ones.

It's common early war to want to hide in the depths and not approach the enemy, afraid of making mistakes, scared your sub won't function properly. If you're stuck with an S-boat, be proud of it. Don't try to compare it to the bigger fleetboats. Your boat may not be as big, but you'll learn new tactics to make up for what your boat lacks in other areas. You'll be more in tune with the sea than skippers who just plunge around on the surface at 20kts in large fleetboats, making quick night surface attacks, then turn tail and run. Most skippers that get fleetboats have connections through family and don't appreciate what they're given. You'll have to work harder, but success is still possible. One day, if you get promoted, if you can ever move into a fleetboat, you'll have the skill to use it.

Like many here, I have a S-boat, but a later model. I use to hide in the depths when coming into port, surface quickly, tie off and run and hide, cetainly never brag about it. I would never park beside a fleetboat, but find a smaller S boat, a common mistake of youth. I learned no one was even watching the S boat pier and you can't be seen if no one is watching. I learned if I run proudly on the surface during the day when coming to port, no one laughs anymore. I have no problem docking beside the larger fleetboats, just say " What's up Dawg" and turn my back on the bigger boats waving to the crowd. I'd face the onlookers with my hands on my hips proudly looking at my boat, stating proudly "Doesn't it have wonderful lines." Then turn my back and walk away like I'm better than anyone there...They'll stop making fun of you and those watching will want to know what is it about your boat that makes you so proud. Many will "come aboard" to test you out.

Why having great equipment is good, confidence and a willing spirit often wins the day. With skills and proud of my boat, I have no problem taking aim at precious cargo and often the explosions erupt in big fireballs and sounds can be heard for 100's of miles.

Also, until you've become experienced and learned the enemy well, best to aim middle of the target, known as "MOT". I know you want to try spreads, but that takes time and proper skill. When you're ready, it's best to aim bow working aft, not the other way, just be careful. Some prefer aft shots first, but if you mess the attack up, the enemy may zig and evade leaving you with an unused loaded tube. Learn your targets well before firing. Many times even a sucessful aft shot will ruin the chance of a bow shot later. MOT aiming at least insures success in most instances.

There is a guy on the forum named Rockin Robbins. He always states he uses an S-boat, proudly shows SS's of it. He created an entire thread that became a "sticky" of successful tactics. I find the 45% approach works great as the angle works best for me.

PS: My last advice.., this can be hard to accept, but you must know. It is possible the new Admiral your facing has ridden on a large Fleetboat with a very skilled Captian, hopefully it wasn't a Balao with all the fancy sensors. It will be hard for you to compare with that experience. If you are compared, better to seek a transfer. If the Admiral comes aboard and mentions trying out a fleetboat, why you can't stop them from trying, never agree to it.

[I'm goin' down]

Uh, how do I say this. Armistead has responded with a cogent, articulate response to an initial post that is absolutely unintellible, not a proper sentence, nor even a question. Armistead has assumed the question by posing his own, which is a hypothetical.

Captain (Admiral, to me) Scuvy has it right. YOU GUYS ARE KILLING HIM And ME!

[Flaxpants]

hello how to have a realistic thank you

Well, if you remove the 'hello' and the 'thank you' bit, it reads as 'how to have a realistic'. Maybe he wants to know how he can make the game more realistic? Presuming it's the game he's asking about...Unless of course the question relates to the 'Wed true' bit, in which case I'm completely lost.

Unless...today is Monday, so it should read 'Wed false', or 'Mon true'?

Not to mention, it would be nice to have an alterable-configuration woman in your hands.

You don't like this or that? Alter the parameters in the config file, and you're good to go.

Said something you regret? Reload previous conversation. Make multiple back-ups just in case.

She looks as bad as a trabant car crash? Download the latest eye-candy mod from woman-sim.

Anyway, you got the picture.

While I understand your concerns, and would like to help you, I can only reply with one of my tech support customers told me one time:

"I am Bravo to accustom in computer IP, but but task United States antenna Italy rows badly time!"

Some of you have too much time on your hands.

Jeeez. Has outsourcing gone this far? Looks like you were talking to someone in Tibet.

svs49's first post was almost as intruiging - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=185950

:o Some good guesses here though.

Same guy must have written the instructions on my 808 car keys micro-camera:
Thank you for choosing our company designed and developed series of security products, hope it can help your life safe and happiness.And it includes such gems as

Long time press OFF/ON turm offI couldn't help myself from fixing some of the errors in there. Otherwise you wouldn't understand it.:haha:

I worked in tech support for a server hosting company. There were customers all over the world. Some of them used free online translators to communicate with us. It got interesting at times.

[Daniel Prates]

Well, "wed true" sure is an unique one. I googled it and no pages showed it as a valid sentence or expression in any form. In fact, the only page that showed was this very thread.

[Armistead]

"Wed true"...makes sense to me if you're speaking about the gal you married.:DL

[FIREWALL]

I looked at his first post. :yep: Wasn't much better. :haha:

[Daniel Prates]

Poor guy, we shouldn't be extracting those cheap laughs out of his misplaced translations. Though it is funny as hell, I must say... :o

More laughing out of exasperation, I think. Some ideas of help have come for him :doh:

I don't know about the OP, but I've found Armistead's outlook most enlightening. No longer will I feel bashful with my old S Boat. Over the years she's always carried out her orders no matter how daunting (rose to the occasion you might say) and never returned from a patrol empty handed. No sir, I will now sail with pride and the knowledge that each torpedo will reach it's mark and that the likelyhood of a return to port with the broom at the mast will be as strong as ever. Never again will I yearn for the newer larger fleet boats. Thanks Armistead for opening my eyes.

Don't tell anyone, but you are not "sailing" an S Boat. For that matter, you are not sailing anything. You are operating a computer simulation of a boat designed to imitate an S boat. You will never return to port. You may return to a computer simulation that appears to resemble a port. Now, I have to get back to my game, where I operate a computer simulation of a fleet boat that utilizes CapnScurvy's OTC mod (which simulates the optical training device used in WW2) to track computerized simulations of Japanese ships.

Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: Yes.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.

I admit that the game can be all engrossing and suck you in. When your crew expresses concern that the the White Death (aka Maneater, aka Great White) generated by the JoeHayfisch mod will feed off of the dead bodies generated by the optioinal add on to the Pacific Environmnent mod (and who occasionally appear after sinking a target), it is time to check into the Happy Dale Sanatorium for awhile.

svs49 !!! Come on now, don't be shy! Or be put off by us using a bit of humour. I'm sure we will be able to help you, ... once we know what it is you want.

[Daniel Prates]

Maybe he doesn't get us, due to the language barrier. Or he is copying and pasting our comments and using some automatic translator, which probably gives out uncomprehensible crap like 'wed true'. :x

[I'm goin' down]

yep. one day a bona fide genius like aaronblood or CapnScurvy, to mention just a few, may ask you a question. It actually happened to me once. Then, in your heart, you will be forever redeemed. Plus, if we don't kill you, you will emerge fitter, stronger, meaner, and DANGEROUS!

[HowFar]

Hehe. Come on, man, don't bust his nuts. :|\\

He wasn't busting my nuts. Didn't you catch the irony of his post? It was great. The reference to an S Boat in my post was a metaphore playing off the heels of Armistead's brilliant post (however, it acutally should be more along the lines of a Tambor). I'm sure IGD got that... the S Boat part that is.

It's all in good fun. Thanks DP for pitchin for me though.

Well, some good and bad news about S-boats. I used to admire RR for his many posts and tactics regarding S-boats, but ashamed that I found he wrote this.

"Yeah, I wimped out on the S-Boat. Was afraid I wouldn't be able to chase down the targets and might come back empty again. Was afraid I'd be relieved of command. That's never happened on any of my careers so I chickened out. Kind of wish I hadn't.

I love the way the S-Boat handles under water. But its slow surface speed, low capacity batteries and super long recharge times do work against it. The worst thing is only 12 torpedoes, and it takes four of those Mark 10s to sink most anything. So you get three (maximum) kills per trip. I hated to but I took the promotion.

Loved the look of the S-Boat though!"

Another captain afraid, afraid of losing command, afraid of coming up empty; afraid it may take more work. Yes, he admits some positives, but still moved to another boat......What a let down...

[Rockin Robbins]

Yeah I feel terrible with four in the bag and plenty of torpedoes left on my Sargo. I'm mourning even, but.......with a bit of a smile:D

Although honestly, I think I would have still caught three of the four I have sunk so far. After all, they just about came to me. The escorts have been fun and would have been even easier to evade with the stealthy and fast (submerged) S-Boat.

In the early war you just don't know what the luck of the draw will produce. Taking the S-Boat right into Rabaul harbor (in desperation!) I found one tiny target. My escort sank on the way in was more tonnage! This time with the Sargo, there is traffic in and out of port that wasn't there two weeks ago.

One thing I know for sure. After I sank three with the S-Boat I probably would be headed back to port empty of torpedoes. I figure I can sink two or three more on this trip with the Sargo!

Maybe they'll offer me another S-Boat when I get back to port! Don't have to worry about being dumped in Guadalcanal on the beach with a carbine in my hand now with this score:D.

[Armistead]

haha, it went over his head, still thinks we're talking about sea patrols in this thread....

Sorry, it's because English is my first language. Back to wed true!:haha:
