You might like duke nukem then.
While I enjoy a good harbor raid once in a while, especially Truk, you'll find most on the forum enjoy the realism. Why? Because it takes a better captain to sink the ships. It does not take to much skill to hit the "L" and fire any tube you wish. That gets boring and presents no challenge to me.
You'll also find a much better selection of ships and scenarios when running TMO and RSRD. I run the latest versions of TMO and RSRD along with the Convoy Routes TMO + RSRD. Try finding the Yamato coming down out of the Bungo Suido with her escorts. She has also been spotted NW of Truk on her way to anchorage there. Things is though you wont find those scenarios in the stock game but you will find them in TMO and RSRD. The convoy traffic and ship movements are more historical which can be a lot of fun to play with.
Without risk, all rewards are hollow. Set the mind on edge and a cunning intellect will soon follow.
A challenged mind is one that learns and increases in skill. An unchallenged mind leads to a lazy thought and falling asleep at the helm.
