One of the tricks you could pull in AOTD was to sit on the bottom in shallow water, and the asdic would lose you amid the bottom clutter. On the other hand I died more than once because I got stuck in the mud and couldn't get loose.

Funny thing my uncle was joking around with me one day and stated
"They need to make games more real, like if youre playing a playstation game and take a bullet to the head, the game should eject from the Playstation and snap, no restarts and youd have to start all over again!!"

Always makes me chuckle when I imagine a SNES shooting its cartridge out and blowing up in mid air
We had a thread in which someone was asking how to play with absolute realism. I suggested that he keep in mind that real sailors could lose their lives. I didn't say he should go that far, but think about the idea of dieing in the game and putting it away and not playing for a year. That might make him a little more careful.
