For this there is only one test - actually in a Uboot in the active service to drive.

To be honest, I'm already too old for this ****, I do not want to share my bed with someone else and go to a toilet where there are already 50 men out there.

If you are not a senior officer, this would be a great adventure for young people ...
And if you are CO, you have the burden of responsibility on the whole team ... there is not much room for fun.

Not noticed this thread before, and since it has been brought back from Davy Jones' locker I might as well add my tuppence worth. Did the test, to find that I'm supposed to be a 'ROLE-PLAYING SUBSIM SKIPPER'. Clearly incorrect. It is pure coincidence that I subsim in a room lit only by a dim red light, wearing clothes that haven't been washed since I was last in Lorient (not that I've ever been there). The straggly beard is pure coincidence. As is the nervous tic I get whenever I leave the house. Though my tendency to stick my head out of the skylight, swivel through 360 degrees, and then duck back in may just possibly be due to overdoing things a little. It could be worse though. I should probably consult a shrink about the effects playing Elite Dangerous has had on me: I tend to emit a loud 'honk' whenever the sun appears (fortunately rare at this time of year), and have a strange compulsion to check that there isn't a letter coming out at me before inserting one of my own into a postbox.

STRATEGIC SUBSIM SKIPPER
For you, Silent Hunter 4 is just Battleship with shiny, moving pieces. You see the big picture, you think long term, and you are indifferent to political consequences. They would not have put you in charge of a $2 billion attack sub if they didn't want you to use it. You learned that back in Red Storm Rising and you never forgot. You prefer handling large scale operations like Fleet Command and Fighting Steel. Half your time is spent setting up mind-numbingly complex battle plans, with 8 layers of contingencies. You pray for the day Sonalysts will release a ballistic missile sub. With nukes. Every day is a good day for the other side to die. Your motto is "Be my friend or be a mushroom cloud."

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPERNo 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.




"You're 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."
This shouldn't just be reserved for "Role Playing" skippers. We actually had a TRS-80 when I was a kid and I loved the noise the cassettes made when loading games; little did I know I would get sick of a similar noise when AOL came out.

Well, here is what it gave me first time out:

What kind of subsim skipper are you?
