Thanks for all the good advice.

I don't use the external view because of the realism thing, but maybe I should use it sometimes to see how the sub reacts and to learn.

You get way enough renown points at 90% realism too. So feel free to turn the external camera on for the eye candy :sunny:

Just don't use it to get information. For ex. I don't use it if any enemy ships are nearby.

Personally, I used the external camera for a long time before moving to full realism (this is all GWX btw) because it's useful to have the torpedo event mini-screen pop up when your torpedo nears the end of its run. Then you can see that you had a good solution even if the torpedo bounces off or otherwise fails to explode (as they too often do...). It's taken me a long time to learn how to 'feel' whether a torpedo solution is right or not with realistic solution plotting... But with the help of the mini-screen I'm there now...

...and always wondering whether I missed, or it just bounced off.


I'm sure they keep bouncing off... :smug:
