Man I love reading these posts!

I've only been playing DW a week or so, but I play 688i h/k long ago (like in the 90's lol) and played it again before I bought DW. Just to relearn the game.

I spent 20 yrs operating submarines but I wasn't a Sonar Tech or anything that had to do with tactical positioning etc.

However over 20 years I did quite a bit of TMA on a paper chart on the other Nav plot table and I've pretty much forgotten all that stuff till I started playing these games again.

Pretty fun stuff if you actually make an effort to grasp exactly how it all falls into play. Of course IRL, it takes quite a few people to do what we all are doing in the game by ourselves! On the other hand, playing the game, we are basically the OOD (Officer f the Deck for those who don't know the language) who has to put it all together and maneuver the sub into the best place to shoot and getting a correct/accurate firing solution to kill.. Cos that's why you join the Navy..to kill stuff lmao

Happy hunting..great responses here!
