What kind of subsim skipper are you?

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.

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

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.

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".

How can subsim allow a quiz like this? What are the Moderators thinking? It's unplayable I tell you!! My Admirals Edition of the game did't have this quiz...I double checked my tin box. Typical of the Devs to produce an unplayable quiz and not include it in my tin box.

But looks like I'm going to go for shore leave soon, since my HD is giving me severe trouble recently (as in making weird scratching noises and lagging on operation) - seems like it'll go down the brink soon.

"Have you ever had sex with an animal?"

Hmm...only few people had that...only so many got nuke subsimmer as result...hmmm. Ask yourself, when you were a nuke subsimmer and submerged for half a year the next time - would you rather your dog or your XO? I can see some questions coming up there... ;)

;)

Or are there females on board nuke subs?

[capt_frank]

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER BABY!

Avast you Minions!

Actually, I don't have a clue how I scored that, must have been the ice cream flavour...

[cmdrk]

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.

That's my results although I'm not sure why. I plot my own solutions, don't like nuke sims, maps are blank so I can mark them up (sometimes I draw pictures while waiting for targets), play Dead is Dead (except if a program glitch kills me), and realism currently at 85% (external few to take snaps & stabilize views).

I'm somewhere between hard core and casual. I wonder what the other results are. Is there just 3 ?

[DevilThorn]

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.

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!

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."

Thats me pretty much perfectly. This thing is good!

I'd say it's 80% true. Some doubts about the support management and logistics at the end, but otherwise it's pretty accurate. Congrats' for the quiz! I had fun while solving it.

[Calbeck]

Casual Skipper.

Thing is, bits from ALL the descriptions work for me. I did in fact bust my subbing chops on GATO, where I fell in love with the antique vagaries of the S-class. I still have the original Silent Hunter on my drive, kept expressly because cramped-up North Atlantic U-boat campaigns just don't hold a candle to roaming the wide Pacific. I owned and mostly enjoyed 688 Attack Sub, even.

But yeah, I also loves my map contacts, which I've always considered to merely be the work of a quality XO. I don't work the TDC, so much as I get in close and throw in a little "Kentucky Windage" to fob the shot. I like to stare destroyers in the eyeteeth before lobbing off a stern shot and diving for the bottom on a hard-over rudder.

Had I been a real boat CO in WWII, you betcha I'd've been relieved after the first patrol as a reckless nutter --- assuming we lived to get back. Of course, if we got back, it'd be with at least 25K in confirmed tonnage...-:D

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.

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.

The test did had a few direct hits :D
I have a gridmap when I play SH3... I don't use the redlamp though... Yes I play Dangerous Waters with "full" realism :)

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."

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".

True. So you want to try a puny sonar deficient WW2 era sub V my multi-billion dollar attack sub? Bring on all of Germany! Seriously this is not the "Noob" option. :shifty: That would be the one where you like to shoot whole fleets at >16x time acceleration. I never got beyond SH2, the WW2 era sims are a bit easy.

Hi all,

I scored Hardcore however I am more Casual playing my first stock campaign in SH3 at a lowly 23% realism (don't even know what options are turned off). I love this game and am just enjoying the visuals and blowing things up.

Had an experience in a convoy attack last weekend where the front two compartments flooded from dc's and had to blow ballast and full reverse just to keep her off the bottom - experiences such as these where I survive and get back to port - albeit minus the tonnage - is helping fuel my desire for more and more realism.

I am just starting to experiment with proper intercepts and manual TDC although haven't started manual tracking, recognition and manual input into TDC. I have tinkered with various mods and installed GWX which looks fantastic.

A laminated copy of the Kriegsmarine Map has pride off place in a stand above my keyboard on my computer desk and I did get a kick back in the day from 688 Attach Sub Hunter Killer. I guess that spending all my spare time lurking at Subsim also probably helped me get my hardcore rating.

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."

I found it amusing that I HAVE been playing Fleet command alot these last few weeks:|\\ . Been playing SHIII alot too... And of course Dangerous waters. :D

[bart]

I'm the SUB in SUBSIM..............:o

DOH.................

deffinetly hardcore...........now I just need to get SH4 workin right to prove it:-?

[TheSatyr]

Casual Subsim Skipper. They nailed it with that one.:yep:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Ahhh hell, I took the bait. According to the quiz I am a:

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.

[OneShot]

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".

P.S. : Tho the author of the quiz obviously didn't play much DW and neither did he play any platform different then a Nuke in it ... still kinda funny tho.

Cheers

[horsa]

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.

The quiz result said I am a hardcore

Generally it is correct, but I don't know why the quiz asks me for my sexual life (prehaps German U-boat commanders spent too much time in sea and don't have time to do that!) :rotfl:

I highly doubt why there is a question concerning Adam and Eve :shifty:

That's all right, perhaps I didn't know the hidden meaning behind it, just like the question How would you swipe a candy bar off a table guarded by three mean dogs? actually concerns how you $%%^&!$!#^%^% !(better left it for other kaptains to think about) :doh:

[peterloo]

Anyone got this result? (not me!)

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!

I didn't spend all that time printing out my WITP map sections on colour laser, gluing them together after trimming, and using 'snopake' to label all the major bases and islands to pin a lousy Kriegsmarine map up in place of this beautiful Pacific guide map!

CASUAL SUBSIM SKIPPERYou 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.

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)

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.

I actually had a TSR-80 and I do in fact talk to my crew....

[thegroo]

CASUAL SUBSIM SKIPPERYou 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.

Quite accurate, but i don't reload.

hardcore subsim skipper,

yes probably true, I do have the maps on my wall and I do play with a redlight, My wife affectionately calls me a dork ;)

[Snacko]

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER
But I think it's lying... I often walk away from the game for ice cream and only have seen a red light when the wife is randy.

[yankee-V]

Said I am a Casual Subsimmer. ... I won't nitpick. But I could.

[TarJak]

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!




Dunno if tis really is me but surveys' nver lie do they?:hmm:

[MikeJW]

It gave me casual but I'm more of a role play skipper. I try to do in game what I think I would have done IRL and I'm moving away from the more arcade elements of SH4 and being more of a sim player.

[melnibonian]

HARDCORE SUBSIM SKIPPER as well :D

Not that I expected anything else :arrgh!:

[Wolfie39]

I am a casual skipper/sub simmer it says. It described me completly except for the historical accuracy part. I like things to be right history wise. :arrgh!:

[Chock]

Until they fix those mysterious crew deaths in SH4, I'm a German subsim skipper :D

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".

Am not, I love SH3...

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.

:hmm: Hmmm....I didn't know that??!!

[immortal44]

Told me I was hardcore. Guess that's kind of true, I use time compression though so I can't be that hardcore. I did spend an hour tweaking the crew for my new career today, making sure that everyone was in their optimal place, even if it made such little difference that not even the game could tell :roll:

I learned that in School of Rock.

Does everyone come up rated "hardcore"? I did. Actually I'm only 80% hardcore -- there's no way I'm going to plot my own charts. What am I, alone in the freakin sub?

I have to go turn my red light off now.

"Zoom! Blam! Full speed ahead--look, a kitty!" LOL!!! :rotfl:

[terrapin]

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."






Umm...:D...fit's my RL behaviour pretty well...:rotfl:
