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.

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."

Well that tells me I will definitely not enjoy watching 50 shades of grey. Looks like I am either black or white :haha:

ACTION-ORIENTED SUBSIM SKIPPER
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! :yeah:

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".

I find this very intriguing, as I find U-Boats a lot more fun to drive.

Salute Admirals, Captains, Cadets, Everyone,

am rather new to SubSim forums, just stopping by and saying hi.
Been browsing these forums over the last 3-4 years, looking for guides, tips, scenarios, you name it... Found a lot of helpful info; and finally decided to join up.

My kind of thrill are mainly sim's and strategies like Dangerous waters (obviously :yep:) and CMANO (Command Modern/Air Naval Operations) AKA Harpoon sucessor.

Currently playing DW combined with RA 1.40. (CrazyIvan sure did a damn fine and proper job.)

Personal sidenote: Red army choir as a background music during mine laying ops adds up to the realism of DW and makes playtime atmosphere more interesting especially when most of your panels are written in cyrillic. :)

My result: NUCLEAR SUBSIM SKIPPER.

..would just like to add that I am completely satisfied with the outcome. :D

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 Silent Hunter 5, Pacific Storm, Navy Field, and Silent War.

:wah:I can't list all the things that I have done playing silent Hunter three gwx there isn't enough room and for the most part would be very boring in my opinion for someone to read. But a few highlights without explanation might be humorous. A keyboard that lights up, five different clocks, a 360° outer circle with a 360° rotating inner circle. A adjustable protractor, T-square, different colored pushpins, paper 8x11. Heading on paper. Time.speed. Heading. Time. Distance. Heading. I once gave a somewhat in-depth description of how I played the game, and one of the comments from one of those subsims fellows was to sit in front of a fan and throw water toward the fan to give me the experience of having seawater, on my face:haha:playing a career. Printing maps of where I'm going before I start the game, plotting a course to the destination and returning without ever looking at key F5 once I start the journey

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. :o

You fell in love with Aces of the Deep (In fact it was "Silent Service", around 1988) . Your playing style is relaxed, more for fun than historical accuracy (in fact I do appreciate historical accuracy, and also the exploration of alternative historical pathways). You always play Sub Command or Dangerous Waters from the NavMap (rightclick is your friend) (never tried those, unfortunately), if you ever ventured to play them at all (there you are!). Probably you prefer WWII subsims like Silent Hunter 3, SH4 and Aces (true, SH3 and SH4 are my boats of choice). 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. Hold your head high--there's no shame in having fun (indeed, because life is already too serious down deep) .

ACTION-ORIENTED SUBSIM SKIPPER

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, Crash Dive, and Steel Tide. Blow stuff up real good! Zoom! Blam! Full speed ahead!

OK what gives with these tests LOL
physiologically a sub skipper would have to be a have all the info he can get and he or she (who knows some day ) anyway if you are not a go getter and cool headed and willing to go with your guts you do not stay a captain for long if your crew gets lucky
but if a sim captain was to go up against a real sub skipper who would win the match?
IMO the sim captain like in 688 I played against a real skipper a trashier grad infect and he could not locate my sub LOL used the thermal layers and he did not thank to check above or below so was easy to get him but Ii did have to fire 2 torps then use some imagination by hitting emergency blow and fire off a few decoys he hit the decoys LOL then boom he went to the bottom Or at least that is my stories LOL:k_confused:

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. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

[HerrRitter]

I can't believe that they called me a "Casual Skipper".


I am hardcore. I'll have everyone know that I KNEW the answer to the Type C2 cargo ship, thank you!


If anyone thinks that I am "casual", I always run my boat with a time compression of 1 ... to the uneducated, that is "normal speed". When I'm at home, I sit in view of both the TV and the computer, and let the simulation run for many hours.


I loose no more two torpedoes at an unescorted cargo vessel. If it refuses to go down, I surface and sink the d a m n thing with gunfire.


I don't listen to Das Boot in English. German, all the way, is my motto. And my version isn't two hours long ... it's the full, unedited, 5 1/2 hour long version.


And I'm supposed to be casual.



Sheesh ...

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 fire a slavo in the general direction of the target. Real men never get closer than 8000 yards to their target. Your subsim of choice is made by a company in Waterford, Conn or two guys named Killerfish. 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".

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. Hold your head high--there's no shame in having fun.

I just fired up SH5 TWoS for the first time and decided to get to know my crew better and memorize their names while the auto script was taking us out of Memel harbor. Well, we soon ended up rolling all over each other as the boat crashed into land and the game crashed soon after. While reinstalling the game I stumbled upon this quiz and this is what I got:

I do reload the game if I miss a shot or something. If I miss an important target, I chase them at high speed or reload the game.

I haven't played in years, but what can I say, I am a legend and by far the best SH4 player to ever man a boat. Guess sort of like Elvis, a league of my own. I sunk more tonnage than any other 5 players combined. My best patrol with no refits playing a 100% difficulty was 278K tons sunk. I was going for 300K, but sunk too many smaller ships in a storm I couldn't see firing. I should be like in the Subsim Hall of Fame.

[Jimbuna]

Welcome to SUBSIM MaxAmmo :Kaleun_Salute:

[R3dakted]

I'm usually to be found molesting US aid convoys off the west coast of Ireland in a type VIIB..


.. Though these days I'm often hunting the supply routes between the US, UK and Norway in a sierra or akula.



I tried to like the American WWII fleetboats, and their more modern SSNs, but I just couldn't. They smelled like cotton candy, McDonalds and warm apple pie, when they should have smelled of cabbage and body odour and chain smoking like a good Soviet boat. Yuck.



So I prefer to shell and missile-strike ports and airbases for that relaxed yet stoically suicidal (Germans) / patriotically dour (Soviets) buzz, while occasionally murdering task force's with extreme aggression.

As soon as the flaccid weak capitalists blink and turn to run, they get an oversized Soviet wake -homer up their collective asses.



It's funny that in a U-boat I tried my best not to kick the nest and have the enemy scatter... But in a Soviet glowboat the more naked aggression and nest-kicking there is the better - once the filthy democracyphiles break and scatter, or go defensive, they're screwed. Clever Russkies mitigate their noisy and half-deaf subs with aggression, sprints and manly overuse of powerful Soviet active sonar.



Also, ambushing an enemy diesel-electric sub with rocket-delivered torpedoes never gets old..!


A big thank you to Silent Hunter 4 w/ Op Monsun, and Cold Waters with dotmod, for giving me many enjoyable hours bullying, abusing and creatively murdering Allied shipping and infrastructure.. and for making content that my tired old Linux laptop will run quite happily.



Thanks!!
