For me it's 84%. I can't live without the external view, just so I can look at all the ships when I'm entering and leaving port (Rubini's Harbor Traffic mod). I also have my 1WO do the plotting and figuring. On the other hand, I use the original fatigue system. I know it's not realistic, but it makes it harder and for some perverse reason I like that. I also freely use time compression, as I can't do all the other things they did to keep from being bored, and I'm not going to spend ten years (allowing for time away from the computer) of my life playing out one career.

I have three simultaneous careers going right now, none of them going too well. Usually sink 3-4 ships in a 6-8 week patrol. Within the bounds of what's reasonable (and that's subjective to each of us) I play as realistically as I think is possible. I want to recreate the U-boat experience, not indulge in a ship-sinking contest with myself or anyone else.

But that's just me.
