0 limited fuel(had some bad experience on that)
x realistic vulnerabilety
x realistic repair time
0 manual TDC(that's where my WO earns his paycheque)
x no map contact update
x realistic sensors
x dud torpedoes
x realistic reload
x no event camera
0 no external view(only for taking pics. not for spying the surface or t-nets)
x no stabelized view
x no noise meter
0 no WO assistance(here the WO gets his double rum)

[Andyman23]

[bruschi sauro]

100% For Me.

[Nightmare]

No noise meter... WTH ? :o

[Brassusdk]

100 % :rock:

[SirMoric]

Tried a few games at 60%, found them too easy. Now at 100% and still to easy.

Especially the convoys idea of stopping when a ship is hit and the inability of the DD's to hunt me down.:roll:

So, I've made a few rules myself.:know: No surfacing during convoyattack, exept in emergency,:lost: happened once when she wouldn't stop sinking, blew ballast and sunk the entire convoy using the deckgun :nope: . Always use at least a three torpedo spread.

Now I get home with 40-50.000 tonnes of sunk shipping, and it still seems to easy.

No what I meant is it still an option even though its not in the game ?

Seriously I dont remember.

[crapgame]

I have several games going at the same time, at least I did until I had to reinstall. I didn't keep my save files. I like to have games going with different setting. I get the best rush from 100%. I also like the lower setting so I get a better view of stuff blowing up, also sometimes I am just to lazy for 100%.

What i wanted to say was that i try to come as close to realism as i can handle.
Since i couldn't start the game up to make a settingslist i used the manual,wich talks about no noise in the options.
Can't remember the setting but know i went as high as i can :oops:

You might want to try the RFB mod. That or at least get the ship speed fix mod—it fixes the problem with stopping convoys almost completely.

The one problem is that the campaign is pretty vanilla. Every single convoy (and there are way too many convoys) has ineffective escorts because they are all set to novice or poor skill. All of them.

My SH4 doesnt have realistic vulnerability, WO assisstance, or noise meter.
In the manual it says it should but I dont. just thought it was a typo until u guys started talkin about it. can i fix mine or is there really anything wrong with it?

Same here, my SH4 doesn't have those options listed either and as far as I knew those were SH3-only.

I play 200% real!

[V.C. Sniper]

100% all the time, all the way. Anything below that sux. :arrgh!: :rock: :up:

[Kaleun]

83% -i use RFB and because i let the computer calculate the solution of the torpedo as i've broken my arm and it's in plaster :down: - its a little tricky in the heat of battle using the TDC/stadiometer with 1 arm especially when it's my weaker arm (the one i don't write with), this will increase to 100% when i get all fixed up

kaleun

[tedhealy]

100% nearly 95% of the time. I'll put the free cam on every once in awhile to take screen shots.

Has anyone read Pinochio lately.:rotfl:

kaleun>> Escorts helming on/before attack runs are tough setup. Tryed manual,sunk less RL like a little arcade action/ego

[AVGWarhawk]

92% for me. I have a hard time turning off outside view.

[Spike88]

0%. Because I have to wait for payday(tomorrow) to order it. lol And then I have to wait a week for my new computer.

[capt_frank]

All checked except:

1. Unlimited fuel and
2. No Map Contacts

I sure would like to learn to be without #2 but I think it's going to be a real struggle.

Definately need #1 unchecked as I am sooooo impatient.

Just love this game! :D

[Fishie]

I usually only have No Map Update and No External View unchecked.

I love watching the Fish slam home, and try to avoid watching with God's Eye (tm) to magically avoid a depth charge.

[Zantham]

I play with both my arms tied behind my back and blindfolded while hanging upsidedown from the ceiling. I don't breathe while crossing the Pacific at 1xTC.

Every destroyer is a Bungo Pete and I don't allow submerging.

I dunno what percent that is since I can't see it.

Chuck Norris is my boat's captain.

[Sailor Steve]

Well, I was going to suggest 138%, but if Chuck is your captain YOU'RE PLAYING ON THE EASY LEVEL!

Ya but the exercise equipment is great for the crew. :lol:

[Schultzy]

100% My only vice is the TC button. I want to do it x1 but...i dunno i just can't manage it. I don't miss external cam, thanks to Dave's ROW the sunrises and sunsets and the view through the periscope are all the eye candy i need...:arrgh!:

[DaveCrom01]

Hi all,

I have 2 careers running, and I play the one to match my mood. :-)

If the markets have been bad to me, I load up my 60% Realism and go shoot something. If I have a good few hours / a day to spend then I load up my "proper" career and take my time at 100%.

Cheers,
Dave

[CaptainHaplo]

I voted 100% - which is normally what I use. However, I have to admit that I have "cheated" in some ways because I have modified the gameplay.cfg values. There have been times when I have played at 400-500% "realism" simply because of the way I did numbers. *As a side note - was experimenting to see if this was a renown multiplier - and for those that wonder - yes it is!*

If I was using "stock" values - I would be in the 70% range...

*Ok - here is my breakdown - event camera isnt a cheat - I could tell if I hit or missed on a sub shot by the explosion or lack thereoff. The event camera on a DC run is the equal of my sonarman saying "destroyer in attack run/depth charges in the water" so I dont see that as a cheat as those things dont work in the game like they should

External camera IS a "cheat" depending on how its used.

Same with unlimited fuel - depends on use

I use auto targetting most of the time - my manual skills are lacking unless I have worked in REAL close - which with the new layers and mods make this much harder. THis will change as time progresses.

[FIREWALL]

Has anyone read Pinochoio lately.:rotfl:



Again I ask... :roll: Pinochoio ?

[java`s revenge]

100% for me, this is also for sh3.

[Zero Niner]

75%. Map contacts, auto targeting, camera views enabled. All else set to "realistic".
