HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER!

Heh Heh! Fancy Graphics? Bring on the dynamic campaign and put all the realism settings on 115%! I'd rather sleep over a leaky battery than abandon ship!

1500 YARDS is the optimum attack distance.

Thanks. It was really great the day I got that photo. My first memories of TV were watching reruns of McHales Navy when I was like 2 years old. Great to have a small piece of TV history.

Beyond doubt "The Pirate"...sneaking around the List of Modifications raiding others hard work...."Ahhh Jim lad and stuff your Parrot!"

hit the Warshot Loaded right on the Head!! But I do like the old time WWII diesel smell and battery powered torps too.. Otto fuel torps are just well not very dramatic displace all the water under the keel of the target and crack the ship in half! no fire! no big boom! just lots of splash.. All though "I love the smell of Radioactivity and Fosgene Gas in the morning" after 90 days at sea I would still smell like a Diesel Boat sailor when I get home to the wife!!!

ahhem Periscopes .. I dont buy that one .. ANAV and they are great for watching all the Hood Ornaments on the million dollar yatchs while navigating around the mediterranean (got to luv those thongs)

ADCAP = wire guided the only way to fly can you say SALVO?? which way Horizontal! Verticle! or both

Submarines once! Submarines Twice! Holy Jumping jesus christ! We go up! We go down! we dont even f**k around! OOOgggaaaa OOOggggaaa Dive! Dive! Dive!

What kind of subsim skipper are you?

NUKE SUBSIM SKIPPER
Periscopes are for wimps. Let's face it, any snapperhead can bring a WWII subsim to periscope depth, lock onto the red triangle and plug away. Real men never get closer than 8000 yards to their target. Your subsim of choice is made by a company in Waterford, Conn. You thrive on complex Target-Motion Analysis equations, deciphering broadband contacts, and gauging ESM signal strength. You are paler than Siberian stripper and proud of it. You long for the day you can take your Seawolf class nuke into an online game against a whole fleet of Type VIICs. One ADACP equals "make my day".

Though I think it's fun to look through periscopes and adjust gun elevation.

ROLE-PLAYING SUBSIM SKIPPER
Your taste in sub and naval games runs the gamut from Grey Wolf to Silent Hunter 4. You have tried them all, at varying realism options. Your a lit-tle old-er than the typical subsim skipper, and probably remember using a tape cassette player to load programs onto your Radio Shack TRS-80. Your primary joy is using your imagination to put yourself into the game. You are able to overlook little details like the crew appearing instantly on the bridge, or wonky AI: to you, these are easily worked into the story as a crew who are really light on their feet, and frigates that have green skippers. The game platform gets you halfway there, your imagination does the rest. You spend lots of time setting up your crew management so it's just right and may even talk to them. You relish managing support and logistics in games like Pacific Storm, Navy Field, and Silent War.

Allthough I didnt quite know how to answer on the C2 question, I think there are something like 17 different C-2 Types...

Hardcore Subskipper. Maybe they should have asked you what music you play on the gramaphone while at sea. Wagner. Entrance of the Gods and Twighlight of the Gods. (Plus a lot more.) Waltzes are fun too. The three-four time goes well in rough seas.

That's my favourite part of all strategy and military games. Professionals study logistics

Now that was gratifying!

What kind of subsim skipper are you?

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER No doubt about it, you are hardcore. You are the kind of subsim player who pins up the Kriegsmarine gridmap on your wall, you use a redlamp when playing at night, your wife lets you know her mother is visiting by shouting "Alarm!" and you didn't know--or care--that Silent Hunter III has a save game feature. You cut your teeth plotting attacks in Gato, sank 28,000 tons in your first Aces of the Deep patrol, and played Dangerous Waters at 100% realism. You scoff at wannabes who whine about some niggling detail in a subsim but use the red triangle-infested auto TDC and auto-map updates. You never, ever, use anything but full realism.
You are the "sim" in Subsim.
