Count me in with the "haven't played that much lately" crowd. Heck, even when I played a lot my interests were more in how things worked than in being the baddest skipper. I can't fart and chew gum at the same time!
I've been pretty successful in the game but I'm not about to compare my skills to anyone else's. I don't consider myself an exceptional player at all and would be very surprised if I rated in the top half in game skill. But that's not why I play. I play because I learned more about American Submarines from playing SH4 than from all the books I've ever read. In fact, many of the books I have read were because I was playing SH4. And because I heard about those books from you guys here at Subsim.

Uhmmm ... does that mean that you use the same body cavity both for farting and chewing ?!?
The two possible combinations are equaly interesting! .

Same here... I never called myself as expert in sims. I stated that I play with the motif of regular plot. Anyhow, I'm now away from SH... I'm more busy playing A-10c.... Cleared Hot!!

Yeah, Aside from the fact that all you have to do to be the "baddest" is to lie your butt off, that's never been the point to most people on this forum and you can tell. I enjoy this site because, through this dialog I learn. That is, someone jump starts a discussion and a lot of the time I come out of reading the posts more knowledgeable about the subject at hand than when I went in. Granted there are times when certain subjects are beaten to death but we also must remember that we have newbies joining from time to time and they get the same direction that we needed when we joined. I enjoy seeing the new Skippers out there get some good info from our seasoned players and boost their gaming experiance to a level they would surely have never reached without this site.
Good Hunting. D40 (down the Makessar Strait)

That's where my kick comes in. I love to take a complicated process and simplify it to the point that a newbie who came in with no prior knowledge can immediately begin sinking targets on full manual mode. I'm less concerned about the fine details and complications that lots of other people love (I do too, but not for what I teach) and more concerned about producing success before frustration drives what used to be an enthusiastic player to quit the game.
The question became "what don't people have to understand, what don't people have to do to sink a target." The answer turns out to be that you don't have to know how to do very much at all and you can retain full accuracy. That's the fun of the game for me: keeping players from quitting and turning them into people who can brag they are better skippers than I am. Matter of fact I define success as developing skippers so good that I can't qualify to captain a submarine.

By the way, the whole point of this post was not showing who achieved the bad ass status, but rather who mastered the game. I didn't apparently, but the discussion was about who could do any of the first post abilities without even looking into the map. And it's good to have folks like RR, Armi, Dog, and Raz helping with stuff like this.
