Calling all nukes: What kind of subsim skipper are you?

A little spam, sorry:)

What kind of subsim skipper are you? (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111236)

[Bubblehead Nuke]

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".

What else would you expect from a nuke?

[Molon Labe]

Me too. Although from that 8000yds thing, and some of the questions, it's pretty obvious the author hasn't logged many hours in DW.

[To be]

Also nuke (I am in the SH4 thread, this didn't exist when I did it). 8000yrds is a tad dangerous, though against a ship maybe you would do it. Certainly not a problem if your target is a crappy WW2 sub though. :D

[Dr.Sid]

Lol :rotfl:

STRATEGIC SUBSIM SKIPPER - I'm not sure how did I earn this anyway.

(shortened)
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."

Another Nuke here ... and I second Molons statement ... obviously the author didnt play that much DW and he certainly didnt use any of the new platforms (relative to SC).

[Bill Nichols]

Bucking the trend, I'm a HARDCORE subsim skipper. Didn't make the 'nuke' category... may be my age? :dead:

[Molon Labe]

I would have pegged you for a role player...unless that's part of the hardcore category... :shrug:

[desertisland]

Question #16 should be cos (45), not sin, though both are 0.707...:ping:

[Frying Tiger]

Nice to see I'm a "casual" sub skipper. It's only my JOB, you know.... (grin)

Admittedly, I'm far better at a rolling scissors on the deck in a P-38 vs. a Zero than I am at TMA...

[Sulikate]

I am a "Nuke skipper":arrgh!:. Not what I thought but it's still nice:D

Bubblehead Nuke-well said, lets face it, at least in my day, ended 1982 Nukes are proud, we boarder on egotistical, we can be insufferable. But it is hard to be modest when you walk on water. Rickover is still alive and powered by an S6G reactor and lives in Blackfoot Idaho.
This should invoke many comments about my Mom.:rotfl:
On a serious note I hope we never incorporate FBMs and Nuke weapons in our Sims. I don't pretend to be an expert on the workings of A/I, but it would seem to me it would launch when it believes it is losing, or simply does not want to play.
You know this was consider for real in the late 70s, taking the decision to use nukes out of human hands and put in to computer control. People agreed that it would increase the probability of war.
I truly enjoy this site and all that goes on, especially now that I am laid up and can not fish and hunt.
You all want to hear "ironic" I am wearing this massive brace and really limited, yesterday my best friend and constant partner, my dog lady, she blew her leg ligament and will have surgery. What a total bummer.

Any day in Idaho is a great day,

Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new defense system sucks.

I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it would do any good.

Hey I'm a Nuke!

Yeah, right ;) Someone trying to say I never played the Hawkeye plane or the destroyer in DW??

Yep, especially considering that quote :p :rotfl:

P.S. : Yeah ... WarGames was quite interesting

Mr. Stevens, you've got rather cheeky of late! :up:

On another note, just over 5 years I've been a member of this community (I never recovered my original username shortly after a board change, I joined shortly after I bought Sub Command the month it was released) and I keep coming back here to the board time after time. It's a top-notch community here.

No not at all.
The first is the hawkeye, the second is the p-3.
Guess which one you find in DW ? :rotfl: :arrgh!:

The new platforms are nice but I usually stick with subs. ;)

I recognize the one on the bottom... I see it through my periscope all the time.

Bill nukes don't die they decay like any radio isotope. Like Colbalt 60 we last forever.

@Oneshot and Goldorak.... Someone trying to say I never played the Hawkeye plane or the destroyer in DW??
Heh heh, I don't think the SH4 skippers would have fallen for that :sunny: I bet a lot of your torpedoes end up chasing decoys... I need to add something like that to the quiz ;)

If you want we can try it out with you on the receiving end of an airborne torpedo attack ... that would certainly be interesting. :arrgh!:

And by the way, it's an ADCAP, not an ADACP torpedo. ;)
