What is your favorite feature or event?
 

I am bowled over by this sim. I cannot believe how engrossing, immersive, challenging and expanding this sim is. Value no end.

So I was trying to tell a friend about the endless delights and there were so many.

So. What is your SINGLE most favorite moment, or feature, mod or immersive item. I find it hard to keep to a single item as they change often BUT give it a shot.

Mine? At night stalking a vessel, hearing a kaboom and a white star burst lights up the sky and water in a dynamic lighting effect and it send chills. The star burst hangs as guns are trained on you while you go into action.

What is your single 'wow' thing?

:arrgh!:

Watching a medium size convoy materialising over the horison, manovearing into position, making all the plans to select only the fattest targets....only to discover that the covoy is far, far larger than I imagined...and is accompanied by at least 6 destroyers , and then thinking, how am I going to handle this one :dead:

Yes, looking for that 'perfect' opening in the convoy screen and then charging into attack on the surface just like the scene in Das Boot!

Always gives me goosebumps!:DL

Of course that's pre '42....:rock:

Sailing out of my home base, looking at all the sights. Just like doing it for real.

Once I got heavily DC'ed by a DD. I was sinking rapidly with many demages. Had to blow emergency surface - no reaction. "that was it", I thought. On my steep dive to eternity I pressed emergency blowout a second and third time -just to see that finally the third emergency blowout stopped the boat from sinking - at 190m. While surfacing I thought "OK, that was close, but now they'll finally finish me". Yet against all odds I managed to escape on surface thanks to the most lousy weather with only one engine and heavy flooding.

I felt like re-born.:rock:

Cheers,

The best feature IMHO would be the MP aspect of the game where you can play with up to 7 other players online. Hunting as a wolf pack is far more enjoyable than being a lone wolf.

For me, simple, the creaking of the hull as we dive and wondering, "will I be able to surface again?"

Same here. :yeah:
It's great experience.

I like picking up schools of dolphins on my sonar. Havn't seen any yet though. I had them on hydrophone this mission.

Not sure if I'd label it a feature, but

You can involve much alchohol and still manage to sink things :arrgh!:

I very much enjoy the sunsets on a peaceful, clear evening, much as I suppose the real life participants did.

Returning to port in one piece, and parking the boat in the pen, mission accomplished :up:
I usually time it so I arrive at sunrise or sunset too :smug:

going into an attack against a large target expecting it to take multiple fish and have it go up in a massive fireball from just 1 fish:D

my torpedos pleasantly surprise me sometimes

Ditto! Just being able to go through all the steps is one of the most enjoyable things in this game for me. :yep:

My wife sat next to me recently while we cruised along at sunset enjoying the ocean waves. Really quite stunning a view, especially to those of us who are hopelessly landlocked.
