I know,it seems everything I post somebody seems to have a grievance or problem with it.My original intention was to have a place for us (those that are bothered!,if not bothered don't reply to it,its that simple) to display our greatest patrol successes.For the life of me I cant imagine what the problem was.For some people its 100% sim while forgetting what the game is actually about,for others they prefer the action,the thrill of combat,and their mounting tonnage scores.I prefer the latter,most of us do if they were to be totally honest with themselves.Remember the real life tonnage kings?,they were also proud of their achievements.
Some people I guess can never be satisfied,there is always something to gripe about.

Not at all. I just made a polite post on one of your other threads, but of course that doesn't count.

So those of us who disagreed are lying to ourselves?

Not true at all. Making a comment is not "griping". If you want to see gripes read my posts on what SH4 is still missing.

And before your skin gets any thinner, I'm only half serious in any of this. Remember my comments were based on what your title actually said, not what you wanted it to say. I see a difference. No problem though, I just won't comment on anything you say anymore.

[edit] No, I'm not quite that petty. And I'm feeling better now. Have fun sinking things, and I'll try to be kinder. :sunny:

Sorry to bring this up again Steve,but I just dont see where you got the idea that I was bragging about my accomplishment with Nelson or for wanting to post my quite large tonnage for that patrol.I just thought there were others in here that may also like to share their most memorable patrols.I was indicating feeling pride at myself not superiority over anyone.
No hard feelings in the meantime.After all,this is a game and not real :)

Do you not play the game with the purpose of conducting naval warfare then,esp in the N.Atlantic?,do you literally sail around from port to port taking in the sights etc? just curious.I bet even at x1 TC hehehe.God that must be rough.
I guess one man's meat is another's poison.

I didn't get it from you at all, and I didn't think you personally were bragging, especially in your 'Nelson' thread. Where I got it was, as I said, from the Ubi forums. Back when we were waiting for SH3 to come out there wasn't much going on, and the Ubi forums became the place to wait for news. You would be amazed at the amount of childish posting that's possible on a supposedly legitimate forum. After SH3 was released the Ubi forums got a very bad reputation for being the exact opposite of Subsim. After twenty or so threads titled "Post Your High Score", "Are You The King" and worst of all, "The Million Tons Club", I left Ubi. for good.

I have no problem with "Look What I Did!", but as soon as I see "Post Your Highest Tonnage" I see not a thread about banner patrols but an invitation to another bragging contest. I admit it's partly me, but you see where I'm coming from.

And I wasn't even thinking in terms of superiority, but useless childish foolishness. And of course I could be wrong, but I had to say my piece.

NOT REAL? Okay, now we're enemies again! :O:

No, but I do sail in and out my home base at 1x, and I follow orders pretty strictly. I've had more than one empty patrol and enjoyed it thoroughly. If I get 20,000 tons in a patrol I'm ecstatic, and usually don't expect more that 10,000. I just recently started another new career, and set out from Wilhelmshaven for BF13 on August 19th. Two weeks before there was even an enemy to see.

I guess I understand what you mean about 'post your high scores' etc.I think if I saw that all the time that would dissuade me from visiting that forum again.In my personal experience it was the Nelson event that triggered a desire to see other's tonnage scores for one patrol.
No,on the contrary,there have been some great moments here in this forum,and I dont imagine for one minute its anything like the Ubi forum.We,or at least most of us appear to be a more 'mature' audience,the 'high scores guys' (most of) are probably young kids :sunny:

Heh. Face it folks.

By 1944, bragging is "I got home with more than 75% hull integrity."

Move on.

Hmm. I thought by that time it was just "I got home."

On the other hand there was a tonnage discussion some months (or was it years?) ago, and my post just said "I sank a ship once."
