What is DID?
 

I've heard quite a few references to it but can't seem to find it...

Thanks

DID=dead is dead. If you die in a game career you don't restart it again from your last save. :cool: All on the honor system of course but it makes losing your game life have a bit more impact since you have to start all over again with a new boat and crew.

Makes you think twice about engaging in a duel with any armed vessel, or having a shootout with aircraft (when you could've safely crash dived), or leaving that periscope up too long, or going flank while making an attack run, and, yea you get the point:up:

Ahhh. Okay. I'm DID then. It takes so much away from a game when you start "gaming the game" and hitting restart.

I've always played that way ever since the original Aces of the Deep. Subsim, flight-sim, whatever.

I've found that it doesn't matter what kind of game you're playing you get out of a game what you put into it.

I dont play DID because its my first campaign and i want to know how far i can go, so that when i start a new career DID will be a good one :)

The more you have invested and at stake in the game the more realistic it becomes. :D

I'm considereing not playing DID for once just so I an get past 1940 :lol:

See i'm the opposite. I play DID from the very beginning then every new thing i get to experience (boats, upgrades, places to go) feels like a great reward that i've earned.

Like my attempt at circumnavigating the world in FSX in a 1930's airliner. The tension during bad weather landings, moments when i'm lost, low of fuel etc. is quite vivid because i've got many many hours into getting to where i'm at and i know if i crash i have to start over. I guess i could do it beforehand in an SR-22 with limited fuel turned off but that would take some of the luster off.

To each their own though! My work schedule necesitates staying up late on my weekends, so i get about 4 hours to play games 3 nights a week :)
