I don't think so. What do you think is warped about it? It's not like we're playing because we secretly want to be Nazis, we just want to know what it was like to be part of a huge moment in history. Playing this game is about as close as you can get without actually being there. If it weren't for the fact that you're killing innocent people, and also putting yourself at risk, torpedoing ships would be pretty damn fun in real life, don't ya think? It's a challenge, you have to do a lot of things right over a fairly long period of time in order to land a torpedo on a moving target, and when you do, you get that nice big explosion as a reward. I don't know, simple pleasures I guess. I'll always love booms.

Could you expand on this please

I don't write anything down, though the (now dead?) idea of mod with moonphases, writeable logbooks etc. would definitely end up in my game. However, I take screenies of each contact I make, plot it's course an all that and then later add them on a blank shot of selected area, say between North Africa and Gibraltar. Add some notes of the ship types and such and print it. Like this I've some idea of more vague areas, like Africa or Middle Atlantic. Planning to do a similar thing about ports and possibly add depth lines to certain key areas laterr on. What the hey, even though I might never need the maps, it's fun just to make them and it also helps in memorizing the routes.

I fall into the catagory of 'nerd' also, I guess. I keep a three column paper KTB as well. I plot all contacts using a 'home-made' maneuvering board. I use home-made circular sliderules; and, I plot my courses and positions on plotting sheets. ...oh, and I also use the enigma to encrypt all outgoing messages.

...so much for emersion... :)

Keep a log ?

Isnt that the radio officers job ? :smug:

BTW the alt tab thing is a good idea but some folks may have troubles with it. Id recommend testing it first when you have a known good save just in case.
