External Camera- a "poll"
 

TMI. Yes or no?


EDIT: DAMN this new forum layout, this was supposed to be a poll, and now i can't delete this mistake and start over. BAH.

Ok, so this will have to work without a poll like i wanted.

Do you think the External Camera gives too much info and makes the game alot easier?

Yes or no?

No. In "reality", your ability to physically maneuver around the boat, and in general see things is not merely limited to what you can do in a computer game. Due to that limitation, I'll take the external camera, and use it. I pay the renown hit for it, so I figure I've earned the right to use it.

Im really ticked off i cant change my orginal post.

To answer my own question,

Yes i do, but the eye candy is damn hard to give up :D

it's the F12 uber scope view that's the key to reducing difficulty with the external view enabled--just edit out the F12 capability and you have best of both worlds--

Yes, but only if you want it to.

I'll admit that it probably took me a year to learn not to cheat with it. The trick is to play for a while with it disabled, and then bring it back in. By that time you'll be so used to playing without the camera that it won't even cross your mind to use it for anything other than some nice screenies to show for the action.

Screencaps are necessary. period.

I've come back to playing after few months break. Trouble is I used to play with event disabled. I can't enable camera it's greyed out so can't check. Think i edited something to disable. Can't remember what. Any ideas.

:yep:

I've never played with it on. I dont' really plan to, knowing that I blew it up is good enough for me. i dont' really care if people use it. to each their own.

I use the external camera and feel no need to make apologies for doing so.

I use it for two reasons. First I really like the panoramic scenes it provides and second I hate wasting fuel and time chasing a ship for hours only to find it is a neutral.

I'll never give up the external camera for one reason: If I can't see my boat and it's prey from a cinematic view every now and then, then I won't be able to "live" Das Boot and isn't that really why we're really playing these games?

I also have to qualify that my best career so far was the one where I had my external camera disabled (that's my Mohr career in WaW I). I spent my screenshot-making time on that one by writing logs instead. :hmm:

it is a good thing, without it the graphics would almost be unnoticable...

Exactly,

Why have good looking graphics if you cant look at them from time to time.I also use the external camera for taking screenshots and just to look at the graphics as I play.

I can not imagine playing without it, does that mean I have no imagination? :hmm:
