I make your words my words, mate...
Dont get to much close to the academy when you feel confortable with basic, chose a U-Boat and see the world...about playing at 100% its beter start with for exemple 74% or less and go up when you real fell confortable to make the change, because 100% dificulty can be frustating for a player wich is starting...and make the player give up from the game, and that its what WE dont want to happened! :up:
Good Luck!

Even though, I am not back because of SH3 as such (YASS), but because of the great community. These were my steps:

1. Acquired, installed and played stock SH3 (about 2 hours)

2. Looked for information on the Internet

3. Found Subsim, the forum and this community

4. Installed GWX + OLCGUI

5. Started a TCx1 career (3 completed patrols)

6. was delighted

7. Stopped playing SH3 cause my notebook was actually to slow to handle it (was playable until there was *major* action)

8. Got new system

9. Three months later I found the time to actually install all stuff I had before (a bitch!)

10. Here I am

11. Being delighted

12. Thanks Ubisoft, The GWX team and OLC (plus many others!)

Another thought, depending on how familiar you are with U-Boat tactics, is to get yourself a copy of the "U Boat Commander's Handbook". It's an english translation of the handbook provided to U-Boat captains during the war. It's available a lot of places, including Amazon.com. I found it helpful to get an overview of the way real Kaleun's were trained.

I have started the Academy, passed all. But in career, it is a bit more challenging and you need to use different tactics. Also, use the TOOLS that are provided for you, like plotting certain courses to a convoy, how you will hit a ship, etc. I haven't used that, and I need to get used to getting the data myself..learn the ships & how to take them down like the real captains did.

I think we all would need a step by step picture or thread from one of these extremely hardcore realism experienced Kaleuns. :arrgh!:
