All you can do is look at the inner hull structure as the warship makes a run your sub. Torpedo solutions...no God's eye view to watch if your speed was off as your torpedo misses. Now it is you, your crew and what tools you have to find the torpedo solution. When you miss all you can do is make you best guess if you were to fast on the torp or to slow. Much different game without the camera.

Yea Buddy....whole new ball game. The hard thing is why under attack and you've hit a couple ships is tracking an approach and getting back up soon enough to finish them off. Often now, as in real life they get away and have to do another end around.
I think most people that play hardcore do so because they played long enough to get bored with cams and contacts on. It brings the game back to life and makes it exciting. Overall that's what it's about, fun and excitement, so what ever style makes it fun, that's how you should play...after all it is a game. But try atleast once to not use the cams in an attack and see how fun and different it is.
My goal is to finish a career with no saves. Obvious that's not realistic, no skipper did 30 patrols. I made it to 45 in my Gato and got killed. Have no idea what it was, either a plane or mine. But if I ever make it to 45 again with no saves....my crew will have an easy life. We'll find a island full of native girls and park the boat and party the last few months of the war.
