I've pretty much tried it all with regards to realism and accuracy, with mods and so on, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm a bit inpatient and so on, and prefer keeping the realism to the minimum.

You play the game at whatever level your happiest at....nothing wrong with that http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

I play with 85 % + D.I.D :yeah:
I could play with 100% but guys over 40 years of age, like me, could have a heart attack from it. :har::har::har:

Realism settings vary,but never less than 50% and DiD,Always!:yeah:it really depends how much time I have available,whole weekend to myself:06:then the realism gets cranked up,quick fix of U-boat carnage:06:then it goes down a bit,horses for courses as they say,whatever makes you happy:yeah:

"I am so hardcore that when i go on patrol i turn my monitor OFF... :yep: :yawn:"


Thanks, Kiwi; it's been days since I've had a good laugh...:know:

#2, with external cam and "god eye".

Type 3 player (about 74% reality) :salute:

but what the heck is DID:-?

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

Dead Is Dead. If you die your career is over - no reloading saved games to 'save' a kaleun you like just because you can.

I've re-evaluated what type of player I am. I decided i am DIDID. Which means once I get killed I quit playing, since in real life you only get one chance. I didn't count DID's from silly stuff like hitting bridge Pylons and micro islands while at TC. The simulation plays true. A real life Kaluen had no chance of making it through the war. Now that I got my history lesson, I may mod the game instead of playing it. Only playing to game test. But since the weather here is finally nice. Probably won't be around till next winter.

Between 4&5

I play DID. But I use externals... everything else turnt on.:yeah:

1. Extreme Hardcore : 100% realism + D.I.D

Arrhh.. It's still not that extreme as SH3 says, but it will be very close to it when I start exploring real navigation mod on my next career :yeah:

Type 3. I play DiD too; will not reload a previous save unless I have a CTD with the current one. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often.

Well, there are times when Dead is NOT Dead, such as when for some unexplained reason the Kiel auto-transit in GWX runs you into the shore and you die. Or when you reload the game and it runs you into the bottom for no apparent reason.

I'll reload a career if either of those things happen. I've only slammed into the shore once during the Kiel auto-transit & only experienced the dreaded "crash dive of doom" :eek: once that I can remember. Otherwise I play DiD.

I've actually gotten board with the game. Its probably just tooling around in the harbor listening to gramophone tunes when I get back to it. Or I will go back to GWX and look for schools of Dolphins. Too bad we can't go fishing for Sailfish or something.

:DL4 to 3, depends on my day.

95% "god's eye" and DID. Goal is to survive and bring crew home---unfortunately that hasn't happened too often. just finished my first career with GWX3 -- three patrols sunk while trying to engage my first real convoy attack Oct 31, 1939. I have mainly concentrated on easy pickins, ie single ships.

:rotfl::rotfl:

I've just started playing at 100% with the map updates off,which I don't know if i'm going to like,we'll see :shifty:

Type 2, but then I like type 2s. I sank a Nelson class (not sure which one of them it was) at anchor in the old U3. I play at 78%
