This forum is mainly geared towards those who take this real seriously, with the emphasis on simulation - making it as real as you can. In that vein, skills like maneuvering in and out of berths, navigating the Kiel canal, and so on become as much enjoyment as sinking ships. If this is the way you want to go, then you will get one set of advice - such as remaining in your patrol area for 30 days or so and then "radioing" BdU for another assignment. There is an app that does that. There are many, many mods that will aid in this.
If on the other hand you just want to rack up a massive tonnage rating and/or earn every available award "in game", then you will get a different set - such as where to go for the highest ranking in tonnage, and/or the places to find the most exotic kills. There are a completely different set of mods that will give you abilities or equipment that did not exist, or are enhanced versions of what they did have.
Which way do you feel is what YOU want out of SH3?
Edit: I take so long to type that Frau Kaleun got in first - AND said it better!

I see it as a simulation and I want to gear up that way, like you said at first however, it being a simulation I want to (again working my way up the realism ladder) be able to be a feared U boat captain with alot of tonnage (realistically) that being, Im also sure that at least a few U boat captains had to deviate from their natural patrol grids to possibly sink tonnage of incoming convoys (why not if it hinders the British?)
Im not in it to over get every award, at this moment I am really just trying to play around with the game and get a feel bit by bit for what I need to do, for example, Interception, Ive now gotten that down pretty good and can make a decent judgement on what and what not I should intercept, next is evasion which Ive done alright at lately, I actually evaded and snuck away from a couple destroyers chasing me and in relatively shallow waters
The only reason Im asking my questions, such as this post, so open ended is because I want answers from either side (tactics wise) that way I a, find and develop a style to my liking and b, I have a variety of tactics I can use in my bag. That being said, my tactics will surely change once I enable more and more realism settings and I am expecting this (ie Ill be more likely to patrol my grid like a real U boat Kaulen would and head home due to fuel, constraints or damage taken) I get enjoyment out of it being a simulation even though its darned hard for me, Im just trying to learn as much as I can as quick as I can (Im a sort of Cram learner/ hands on and in that respect I have to say from my ridiculous number of posts asking various things I would say since day one which was only last Thursday I think I've made quite the improvement from what I was which is what excites me, the fact that Im getting better)
