Do you use it? I usually just minimalize SH3 and don't exit mid patrol, so that won't be a problem.

I'd like to use it if it's realistic, but if it happens too often I'll turn it off.

It's based on a random chance percentage each time you start SH3 via SH3Commander.

I personally use the malfunctions & sabotage setting but only ever start my game via Commander when I have finished a patrol.

As for being realistic, within the limitations of the game it does a very good job and I would advise any one to conduct 'shake down' drills just after leaving port.

Things that can be affected:


Engines
Batteries
Optical Scopes
Flak Guns
Crash Depth
Max Depth???

I'm sure there are others but you get the idea.

That's a great idea! Wouldn't have occured to me until I'd had some problems that cost me. Heh.
