What kind of subsim skipper are you?

[captiandon]

CASUAL SUBSIM SKIPPER You fell in love with Aces of the Deep. Your playing style is relaxed, more for fun than historical accuracy. You always play Sub Command or Dangerous Waters from the NavMap (rightclick is your friend), if you ever ventured to play them at all. Probably you prefer WWII subsims like Silent Hunter 3, SH4 and Aces. You may try the manual TDC, but you prefer to leave the auto map contacts on, (blank maps scare you). Even though you know submarine skippers missed targets occasionally in real life, you cannot resist reloading a mission to take another shot at a 10,000-tonne troopship that got away. One ship, one torpedo, finished off with the deck gun--that's the creed you live by.


I would have to differ. All thought I use the map I am set at 100% I do consider 2 torpedos a Spread but I view attacks like Mush Morton. I try to sink ships with only one torpedo. I use manual targeting. and I dont reload my games like that, Yes I do finish targets off with the deck gun but I dont need to reload the game for that. I hit them with a torpedo or two and then I surface and attack with the gun. If the target is heavy defended I leave him and clame him as dammaged. I will however try to do an end run and attack him again if I can get the chance. And I do play this as because of the History and I do not play it casualy. I am as serious about it, Just ask my friends.

Hardcore...but I already knew that. :yep:

[Rockin Robbins]

Hardcore. I'm the "sim" in subsim. hrmph!!! Guess they didn't see the shark mouth on Redfin.

I would have picked stragegic/role playing. Oh well...

[Deerdiver]

Aaargh! A questionnaire that knows me better than I know myself. Casual simmer. I hang my head in shame :o

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 ADCAP equals "make my day".

[TheBlobThing]

Casual for me too! And that conclusion was spot-on! :)

[msalama]

and I've actually been around for awhile. I was searching for something and happened upon it. I don't think I had ever done it for whatever reason and couldn't resist. Like you I thought this was a great thread and am not suprised that other who missed it jumped right in with taking the quiz. My result kind of make me want to start playing Dangerous Waters some again. Breaks my heart to think it could be the last of that breed, I so love commanding the nuke boats.

[FIREWALL]

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.

I got hardcore but I don't think it's realistic to never use the TDC with manual targetting. I'd be a WWI sub skipper. No computer and ship recognition. All merchants worth a torpedo are 5 feet. All escorts are 2-3 feet. Deep? What's deep? This thing goes deeper than periscope depth? Holy crap!

[gimpy117]

I still only play on 50% it's because of manual target and fuel...

But I do use the map icons it is right about that, also Ive only had two patroals where I was damaged badly out of 15 because I was ambushed on the surface.;) I also saved Narvik from a battleship and 8 distroyers who were distroyed.:p do i need to contenue.:rotfl:

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."


Guilty as charged:oops: BTW what did my choice of farm animals to take to the movies have to do with it?:hmm:

What kind of subsim skipper are you?

Everyone brags about how many tons he has sunk, or his polished firing point procedures. Talk is cheap. Subsim, in conjunction with NASA and the National Academy of Sciences, has formulated a simple quiz that will define the kind of subsim skipper you are.


SUBSIM SKIPPER QUIZ (http://www.subsim.com/quiz/submarine_quiz.html)

Caution: taking the test more than once invalidates the results :know:





Jsut a question... since this has been dredged back up.

Why would taking it twice invalidate the results. Alot of things change. Im pretty sure Im more 'hardcore' than I was when I first took the test. :|\\

When I first took the test I used auto targeting and 'vanilla' install version 1.0 :huh:

[Falkirion]

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER.

Which is really strange because I play with point and shoot targeting and have only owned the sim for a couple of weeks now and I'm still getting used to it, there's just so much to learn about being a sub skipper. Still I try to approach the situation like I'm in a real boat with god modded powers. I need to get RSRD and RFB but it'll cap my interwebs.

I'm guessing that when Neal first put it up he didn't expect people to be coming back to it months (or years) later. I don't know the answer to that question; why don't you take it again and see what happens?

On the other hand it might be tied in with Murphy's Law for Grocery Store Lines:

1) The line you are in is always the slowest.

2) Switching lines makes the one you left speed up and the one you entered slow down.

3) Switching back makes both lines stop and everybody mad at you.

[SandyCaesar]

Nuke.:up: I still haven't figured what that mirror-on-a-pole thing sticking out of my hull is for.

"Too much periscope exposure..." :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:And I pity you diesel-electrics. Bragging over your tonnage...tsk, tsk. You don't see me bragging when I sink a 350,000-ton supertanker, do you?!:yep:


Kidding. I do play SH3; it's just so different from triangulating with the TA and the hull array, and it's scary not being able to shoot back with the depth charges in the water.

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. 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. (Or perhaps you're wise beyond your years.) 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.

Hum, I did use some kind of Radio shack computer. Bad part was I had to write the program that was stored on the tape. :arrgh!:

[Deepseahunter]

I'am a typical german .I only do what my superior officer ordered me.
If he ordered me to "deliver" a spy to its destination without to be seen then i realy avoid every fight.Even fishing boats.
If the lookouts report aircrafts then i allways crashdive. No ship stand a chance vs aircrafts for long.Soon or later one of their bombs will hit.
I normaly don't save the game for every attack becuase if my attack fail then it's ok **** happens .
I normaly don't use the deckgun. It's a useless weapon in my eyes. Becuase i can't fire it underwater.
If destroyers located me i allways dive as deed as possible and sneak away.
I WILL NEVER SHOOT RESCUE BOATS OR SURVIFERS.that break the Genfer Convention.I have no problems to sink fishing boats becuase they deliver the food for the enemys.

You are original olde school, you only go to movies rated "Arrr!" and you won a pair of Johnny Depp's boxers off eBay.

Sadly this is very accurate of my style only I have never played Dagerous Waters or Aces of the Deep the only sub game before SH3 (later on SH4) was the orginal SH and using unlimited torps and fuel (I was 6 years old at the time) I sank 100 ships before going to port just to get the top medal. Oh how things have changed.

CASUAL SUBSIM SKIPPER
You fell in love with Aces of the Deep. Your playing style is relaxed, more for fun than historical accuracy. (Partially true. If I had to chose, I would say somewhere in between fun and historical accuracy, leaning slightly towards the second) You always play Sub Command or Dangerous Waters from the NavMap (rightclick is your friend), if you ever ventured to play them at all. (Nope. Silent Hunter all the way :) ) Probably you prefer WWII subsims like Silent Hunter 3, SH4 and Aces. You may try the manual TDC, (Duh...) but you prefer to leave the auto map contacts on, (blank maps scare you). (I leave it on, but only to eliminate the tedious and unnecessary hinderance of determening position from the hydrophones :P ) Even though you know submarine skippers missed targets occasionally in real life, you cannot resist reloading a mission to take another shot at a 10,000-tonne troopship that got away. (Again, partially true. I SOMETIMES reload if I missed, but I always accept duds. Even if all my torps were useless.) One ship, one torpedo, finished off with the deck gun--that's the creed you live by. (Yep. Why waste the main form of attack if I can safely gun them down? :) Convoys are another story however. Those are torps only. :P)

Well.... I haven't actually played Aces of the Deep or Dangerous Waters.... But I did enjoy Silent Service I&II, 688i Hunter/Killer and Sub Command before turning to SH III and IV. But I must say, I use the savegame feature as I hate it having a tense attack just to be interrupted by a CTD.

One disturbing fact might be, that my office phone with customisable alerts is set to a diving alert, a surface alert or a general quarters alert depending on who is calling

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."

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. 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. (Or perhaps you're wise beyond your years.) 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.

Yeah.....That's pretty accurate.:hmmm:

[Leon West]

CASUAL SUBSIM SKIPPER You fell in love with Aces of the Deep. Your playing style is relaxed, more for fun than historical accuracy. You always play Sub Command or Dangerous Waters from the NavMap (rightclick is your friend), if you ever ventured to play them at all. Probably you prefer WWII subsims like Silent Hunter 3, SH4 and Aces. You may try the manual TDC, but you prefer to leave the auto map contacts on, (blank maps scare you). Even though you know submarine skippers missed targets occasionally in real life, you cannot resist reloading a mission to take another shot at a 10,000-tonne troopship that got away. One ship, one torpedo, finished off with the deck gun--that's the creed you live by

Considering that I got SH4 Gold Edition shortly after this shiny new laptop I got for Christmas, I'd say this quiz is spot-on...I'm still cutting my teeth on subsims, but I'm glad I chose SH4 as my teething ring. I'm enjoying this game lots! Casually, obviously..lol :salute:

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 ADCAP equals "make my day".

[Max2147]

You fell in love with Aces of the Deep. - Not really. Fleet Command was my first naval combat game, then Sub Command, then SH4.

Your playing style is relaxed, more for fun than historical accuracy. - Fairly true. I take historical accuracy seriously, but I'm not fanatical about it.

You always play Sub Command or Dangerous Waters from the NavMap (rightclick is your friend), if you ever ventured to play them at all. - Spot-on. I played Sub Command, always on the NavMap. Dangerous Waters looked like too much techy stuff for me. Fleet Command is still my all-time favorite.

Probably you prefer WWII subsims like Silent Hunter 3, SH4 and Aces. - Spot-on, although SH4 is the only one I've played.

You may try the manual TDC, but you prefer to leave the auto map contacts on, (blank maps scare you). - Spot-on again. Tried manual TDC in training, failed miserably, now live with my colored arrows. I can't imagine life without auto map contacts.

Even though you know submarine skippers missed targets occasionally in real life, you cannot resist reloading a mission to take another shot at a 10,000-tonne troopship that got away. - Not true. I chase down my targets after misses, even if it means shooting off half my torpedo load. I only reload after CTD's or getting sunk.

One ship, one torpedo, finished off with the deck gun--that's the creed you live by. - Close. Small merchant - only deck gun. Medium - one fish, then deck gun. Large - Two fish, then deck gun. If they have deck guns, then I keep my head down.

Altogether very impressive accuracy!

STRATEGIC SUBSIM SKIPPER


Interesting. It is true I'd rather have someone else carry out my orders and I like to see the big picture, but then again I do like to personally blow something up too from time to time. Then again in cRPG games I usually play with Lawful Evil characters and I feel happy to stay in the shadows and just gently prod stuff to make things happen.
Of course I'm hardly an expert at subsimming (it always nags me... who the hell would put someone like me in command?!) and some questions confused me. I'm probably closer to a HARDCORE FAILURE SKIPPER as I'd like to go 100% realism but when I do, I fail utterly so I'm kind of forced to compromise.

[Fishie]

Says I'm hardcore- absolutely :)

Although, I have to admit. I leave the map update on, I let the view stabilize itself, and I leave the external view on.

Why? Because there's years of training I don't have, I can hold a pair of binocs steady by instinct, and I like the pretty colors.

done.

[Sensekhmet]

My thoughts exactly! I frequently get into trouble with simracing fanatics, when I tell them that 'no, it's not just like the real thing' and that 'no, it's not that realistic', when a PC nerd gets suddenly plopped into Formula 1 car cockpit and not only can he actually keep it on the track but even win races!

thats me... it called me a hardcore skipper... but i still suck. bad. If i can put the auto target thing on i do good because i dont sit for an hour and a half trying to get a friggin solution just to get out of position. :/ sigh..... those 2 ships i sunk in the gudgeon were with the deckgun! haha I shot about 6 torpedoes that patrol, all of them missed or were duds.

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 ADCAP equals "make my day".

100x100 success, congratulations NASA!:cool:

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."

Haven't been around here (even lurking) in a while, but I'm getting the sub sim bug again so figured I'd see what's up. It said I'm an "Action Oriented Subsim Skipper". I didn't post the whole reply but I was a little surprised. I'd be the first to tell you I'm definitely not hardcore, but I've honestly never even tried Battlestations Midway and Steel whatever it was that the result listed. Yeah, I use auto targeting in SH4.

I had to check 27 pages to make sure i had not already answered this, If i somehow missed it i apologize.

I got HARDCORE, which some would disagree with because i use auto-targeting, but I consider that realistic because i think the Captain should count on his crew to do their jobs instead of the Captain running from station to station doing everything.

My Subsim life has taken me from Silent Service on NES, to GATO on the ATARI XE, to Silent Hunter 1 and Patrol Disks,Jane's 688I,Silent Hunter 2,Silent Hunter 3 and Finally to Silent Hunter 4 on PC.

Once the DRM is gone i'd like to try Silent Hunter 5, but until then its been a great ride and i have learned alot.

I really enjoy spending time here at Subsim.com. Thanks to all of you who make this such a great site to Visit! :salute:

You are the "sim" in Subsim.

On the other hand, I've learned the mantra of "Save early, save often" where SHIII is concerned, I have an IWO who does my math for me and draws pretty pictures, my first AOD patrol ended ignominiously in a IIC, and I'm utter garbage at TMA or sonar. Well, that's what the crew is for. Right, mein herren?

[Armistead]

For you real sub players, I have a mod for you to promote that you play at high realism.

Shotgun mod...You attached controls to your trigger that plug into your USB port...shotgun attaches to back of your chair pointed at your head. If you die, it goes off....LOL

Now...that what real war is, bet you would play different wouldnt you.

We would have to limit it to the realistic 5 patrols or have nervous breakdowns...

Just remember what those real men went through...rather amazing. Can you imagine being depth charged in real life..don't think I could handle it,

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. 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. (Or perhaps you're wise beyond your years.) 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.

Oh hell, who are we kidding? Working TMA in Dangerous Waters is as exciting as watching paint dry. You want no part of it, and rightfully so, you are a man of action, the reason games with good graphics sell. You may try a hand at Silent Hunter 4 but only with fast reloads and never dud torpedoes. Who says you cannot sink a whole convoy and never drop below 16x time compression? And manual TDC? Are they crazy? If you wanted to work trig problems, you could do that in school. No, you like fast-paced games like Battlestations: Midway and Steel Tide. Blow stuff up real good! Zoom! Blam! Full speed ahead--look, a kitty!

Even though you know submarine skippers missed targets occasionally in real life, you cannot resist reloading a mission to take another shot at a 10,000-tonne troopship that got away. One ship, one torpedo, finished off with the deck gun--that's the creed you live by.

Spot on.

Oh hell, who are we kidding? Working TMA in Dangerous Waters is as exciting as watching paint dry. You want no part of it, and rightfully so, you are a man of action, the reason games with good graphics sell. You may try a hand at Silent Hunter 4 but only with fast reloads and never dud torpedoes. Who says you cannot sink a whole convoy and never drop below 16x time compression? And manual TDC? Are they crazy? If you wanted to work trig problems, you could do that in school. No, you like fast-paced games like Battlestations: Midway and Steel Tide. Blow stuff up real good! Zoom! Blam! Full speed ahead--look, a kitty!

[DonZorro]

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 ADCAP equals "make my day".

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."

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. 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. (Or perhaps you're wise beyond your years.) 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.
