100% tame? Are you using GWX?
DID is Dead Is Dead; i.e. if you are killed you NEVER reload a saved game. Makes it much more challenging. For those two mods type the names into the advanced search function. Destroyer behaviour? Again, are you using GWX? |
19 % here :D ... I just wanna blow some stuff up :lol: ....
that is if my pansy crew will stay awake :-? no non-fatugie mods works.. not even in the sh3 commander settings ...... and I don't play in a hurricane either... weather never stays nice either except for the first 2 days I leave port ... I sit at 30 meters ( so I don't get run over ) and sometimes sit there for 2 weeks waiting for it to get nice enough to see something to shoot at :smug: |
Apologies if all this has been said before, but...
Realism Heh? What does that mean? Let us suppose a kaleun set sail from Willhelmshaven & announced to the crew :- "I have available to me a stabilised periscope, reliable torpedoes, unlimited fuel, a device for determining exactly how visible we are to our enemies, and a whole host of other wonderful aides. These devices would greatly increase our chances of carrying out our mission & staying alive. However I'm not going to use any of them because it would be unsporting." Said kaleun would then find himself carrying out an internal inspection of one of the torpedo tubes followed by an external examination of the boat's hull. Get real. |
But they didn't have any of those things, so how real should we get?
|
I'm on 60% realism, but eager to see more. Mayby next mission I'll turn to 80%:hmm: Good hunting for all of you guys:arrgh!:

Have only recently begun 100% careers.
Most careers have been DiD, the one or two careers where I was sunk and then magically not sunk have usually been abandoned and deleted before too long. Started playing at 75%, used auto stabilize, auto targetting and no duds. Didn't care so much about the eye candy with the external cameras, mainly didn't want to sail and sail and search and search just to miss with my last torpedo or have a dud. to 100% now but it's still the stock game. Still enjoying myself immensely! I am trying to be more realistic but I do not faithfully carry out all the directices in the U-Boat Commander's Handbook, I still try for lucky single torpedo sinkings. But I am letting my crew take more of a role, I have not been personally manning the guns or flak and I let the Weapon's officer do all the number crunching. I really enjoy micro-managing my crew, I will not have a senior LT onboard until I am a senior LT myself at the very least. I have been spending less and less reknown lately. *editted to add: Been lurking here at periscope depth for quite some time now, hello to all the forum members and a big thank-you for being the best online gaming community I have ever seen! |
Well, WELCOME ABOARD then!:sunny:

Welcome aboard Kaleun :arrgh!:

Overkill all the way!
Oh.. hi, I'm a new poster and a new SSIII player (old time SSI fan though.. ahhhh the simplisity of EGA graphics! :P). I always play hardcore level no matter what game it is. Even if I'm a total noob (which I am just barely above the level of in SSIII after having it for only 2 days). However, I have just made a decision to turn on free-cam as it would give me a great tool to use to find out why my torpedo's keep missing (or if they are just tinging off the hull due to a bad angle). |

Taken straight from Gameplaysettings.cfg.
LimitedBatteries=true LimitedCompressedAir=true LimitedO2=true LimitedFuel=true RealisticVulnerability=true RealisticRepairTime=true RealisticShipSinkingTime=true ManualTargetingSystem=true NoMapUpdate=true RealisticSensors=true DudTorpedoes=true RealisticReload=true NoEventCamera=false NoExternalView=false NoStabilizeView=false NoNoiseMeter=true NoWeaponOfficerAssist=true This gives 82% realism, IIRC. |
I play at 74%. I'm so damn terrible at math i'll never go to manual targetting, i love my eye candy, and map updates are handy when trying to track convoys - Otherwise i avoid using it.

So get back into the game and GWX is here and has basically all I had and lots lots more. 74% and I am finding it a bit too samey so have download OLC's mod and am about to give it the Full 100% (but really not sure about missing the external camera, or flag spotting in the dark!). Will just have to wait and see if the extra difficulty equals more enjoyment.... |
Ive gotta confess...when I play I have moved all my puter stuff into the shower...when I get hit I turn on the water...you know for that realism factor...:yep:
|
This is my first career. I'm trying out 74% realism. Too early to try manual plotting. I haven't done trig in over 4 years...
