When the guy next to him gave him a dirty look he shrugged and said "Sometimes you just gotta." Suddenly all up and down the range we heard pretty much everybody doing the same thing. So yeah, sometimes you just gotta.

Interesting how sometimes it takes just one person to break the ice and then everybody realizes, ya that's just what we needed. It's true though, people who work hard at honing their skills still need to blow off a little steam now and then.

It might be apples and oranges but I feel the same way about SH3. I take my modding pretty seriously, but if I've been hard at it for two or three weeks then I'll take the game out for a spin just for fun. On the other hand, if my modding has been light, then I tend to take a more serious approach to my patrol.

For me, it's all about balance, enjoying the challenge and having fun. But not necessarily in that order. :D :O:

:yep:

As I say, I'm a stickler for my version of realism, and expect low or even no tonnage most patrols. Once in a while I'll load up the Happy Times single mission, turn off all the realism options, turn on auto reloads and just trash that convoy, ignoring my own rules about low speeds only for periscopes and external views during combat etc.
