I don't follow the use of the word cheating. How can someone cheat in a single player game? No one is keeping score here. It is kinda like golf, the Kaluen is really playing against themselves.

I may think it is silly to enable a mod that allows the submarine to cruise at 50 kts and launch nuclear torpedoes, but I would not think that would be cheating... just being silly.

This is, after, just a video game. People should be playing this game for fun and amusement. If someone wants to enable silly mod for their enjoyment, it in no way, diminishes the way you choose to play a video game.

I do not understand why someone thinks it is cool to cheat a sim, why? What is the point? The experience, the reward is in playing to the era conditions or go play pokemon if one needs flames and loud noises for stimulation.
Well that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Other people may play this video game for a different thrill. We should be open to all subsim play styles.

Anyway, before I am kicked out of this forum for airing ... I sure would love to know who plays this sim properly. Could you please privately post me a short message. Those folks are the ones whose posts I will look to read. Thanks and salute to all. Whatever floats your boat.

I am sorry you feel that you need to judge people's posts on their play style. I don't think this exclusivity attitude is good for this board or for the Subsim community. Everyone plays this video game properly. They just may not play how you choose to play it. But that does not make them any less a subsimmer, simply because they don't emulate your play style.

I wish you luck in floating your boat, for evidently what floats your boat does not float mine.
