One can always do ones own modding, the version of sh3 i run is heavily custom modded for my personal use.

Anyhow guys lets stick to the topic and keep the flames down :)

As for myself i often do drills to add to my own sense of immersion. typicaly a shallow dive, then a crash dive followed by going deep to make sure everythings screwed on tight. Then ill typicaly blow tanks to make sure its working right, and usualy end off with deck and flak drills. Ill also check fuel consumption and see how she handles, and i dont run SH3 commander with (or without) the sabotage thing.

I like doing it as it enhances my gameplay experience.

I also do one Deep Dive near the beginning of every patrol, though I haven't did it as a Crash dive. I guess I'm hoping crew could find some loose rivets, so to speak.

On a personal note, I always wanted to find a way so that by crash diving in game and doing these drill would in fact have benefits i.e. better staminer for crew or better morale.

At one point I was pondering on the idea that fatigue could be gradually lowered on surface operations and upped on dives.

This meant that my men would be losing their battle readiness on surface when staying there too long and then they will gain readiness once they crashed dive drilled and underwent dive operations etc.

Never did finnish it :nope: :nope:

Anyway every now and again I must admit that I do some pre operation drills but I can also understand why others do not bother.

I am sure that with Hemisents new mod, this is a essential thing to do.

Thanks! I'll take one!:up:

:o Oh, got to get me one of those. Does Subsim have an amazon affiliate link for books like this?
