Physcology paper, How Do You Play SH4 Realism/No Reailsim
 

ok for my Phsyc class, i have to do a research paper on something about people. so i decided that i would ask how people prefer how to play SH4. let me know asap

realism
 

This is still my first run throught the war, so this campaign i have a pretty low realism setting, I think in the mid to upper 40% range

Ok, it's spelled "psychology"...

I play at 90%-100% realism.

BTW, what's your premise for your psych paper?

I play something like 60% realism. I do enough math at work so I dont want to do trig at home when I play. Therefore I have my Weaps officer calc target solutions. I also have external camera as I like to see the boats Im shooting blow up (with all the cinematic special effects I feel I would be missing 1/2 the game without the external cam on). other than those two..I have the rest of the settings at 100% realism.

84% with TM 1.6 here...

Still like unlimited fuel so I can go anywhere and everywhere, but manual targeting is a must EVEN IF I have to do all the work myself.

I mean to say, even Manual, who does the targeting, doesn't even help! :D

Ditto

My reason is similar. Im a pretty 'casual' gamer.

Realistic, less manual targeting. I just don't have the time or the inclination to be a one-man fire control party. As skipper, it's my officers and crew who should do this job, not the captain of the boat.

Me too. I play as close to how the subs really operated as possible in terms of tactics and whatnot, except for firing solutions. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself, it's just that it tends to take away from the fun for me to have to do it on my own.

I'm with Zero Niner and Mookie. I run the sim at realistic minus manual targeting.

Same for me.......although Ilike to watch the external camera sometimes for the explosions.....

About the same here, 84-86, something like that. Basically everything except manual targetting as I can't be assed sitting there doing it, and I assume I'd have a tracking party doing it for me.

Realistic with unlimited fuel, external camera, and without dud's.

For me manual targeting is a must as it's the biggest chunk of the game.

Just 72% TM 1.6,realistic enough for me.:D

I play at 92%. Outside views only. I attempt to play it as real as possible but still get enjoyment from the visuals. I make every attempt to play it like the Skippers would have handled it in RL. Even with the fuel issue within the game, I economize as much as possible. It takes a bit longer to get where you are going but it adds just more in getting the best experience of the simulation as you can.

I use Auto Targeting, exterior camera views and unlimited fuel. everything else real.
