How do you play the game?
 

I was curious how do you all play the game?

I noticed that I am still so amazed by the graphics, the water, the ships exploding, the life rafts and debris, the weather, all of it, that I tend to spend more time watching the game.....outside the uboat.

What I would like to try, is to spend most of the time trying to get the feel of total immersion of the uboat.

I think that with all the mods such as sound, ambient background noises, the gramaphone, messages, sounds of the ocean. Maybe it would be great to try and stay inside or on the boat.

Do you all spend your time while playing say outside watching? Following the path of the eel with the camera view? Sitting at your intended victims point a view? or maybe sitting on the map view with TC on in hopes of finding something?

Do you just sit at the control room view? Maybe hang out in the Captians bunk until something happens?

This game has the ability of being either a great game to watch and play, or actually a great uboat simulation.

Just curious.:lol:

Actually i have the priviledge to play while working on seperate puters so im never in a hurry and can spend RL hrs to prepare a convoy attack and more hrs to maximize the inflicting damage and carefully calculate the necessairy escape tactics. Im usually in the tactical view due to my reality settings and mods. Once i spot a convoy i attack it upto 3x until im out of eals or out of order.

i have no time to play, because i am testing mod after mod in order to get the perfect game......:p

I throw bucket after bucket of ice cold water over myself and get my mate to shout out "ALARM" every so often. :lol:

Then I relax with a U-Boat cocktail.

Too Funny, While I'm playing I ask my wife to dress up as a mechanic and at the top of every hour come in and yell "Hey Sailor, Torpedo This"!

I can't understand why I have to sleep on the couch now?

I spend 99% of the time on the map screen plotting courses and planning areas to stake out using the convoy rout maps. Then when I find something... I can spend a long time plotting out my attack. I usually fire, retract the periscope and do a change of direction/depth and then change the camera view so I can watch the target and the impact.
I have two monitors and I run SHIII in a window on one screen, so when I'm hunting on the map screen, I'm often web browsing or doing research on the other.

Don't shower or shave for three months http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Nah they use sponges and whipped cream. :shifty:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I still plays totally immersed in the game !

When the storm is, I plunged my feet in a large basin filled with salt water and a huge fan breath of air glossy on my face.
And for me warm up, I go out my bottles of schnapps.

Sometimes, I confess, I pay a little oil in the water basin to breathe more true and good smell of this precious liquid.

In critical period, I close all windows and doors. Then I do some firecrackers explode whenever I am attacked and I fire a piece of cloth wet to generate smoke.

I must still find a way to plunge lower. I find a system to put my apartment on a lift cage to go down, but my neighbours at the bottom do not seem to be really ok...

(It's really sad that Google can't makes a good translation of my precis sentences...)

Oh, I would have another small question: how do you do to return immersed in the real life ?

:hmm:

I have no idea, I'm still on the couch!

LOL :lol:
