I never use the deck gun in stormy conditions. I also never reload external torpedoes when the weather is bad enough that waves are washing over the deck.
My one random rule: I don't sink trawlers and fishing boats. I feel bad for those guys.

I guess I have rules after all.
- No reloading external torpedoes if the weather's too rough for the deck gun. Also, I stop engines when I move them.
- Deck gun is for coup de grace and for "I fart in your general direction because all my torpedoes were duds" engagements.
- Dead is Dead except for TC collisions (especially in rain and fog when you're dead before you even know what killed you
).
- Liners are ok after U.S. joins the war (after all, they
were used as troop ships. I just hope I don't deep six the one my grandfather shipped out on.
- No hospital ships.
- No trawlers or fishermen for me, either. I feel bad for 'em, too. Add to that list small coastal vessels (which are what, exactly?).
- Tugs and aircraft... it depends.
- Random hydrophone checks - not regularly because it's a pain to move Adolph back to the bridge every time I surface. I mean that dude's just not pulling his weight. It's tough to avoid a "cheat" with the hydrophone because whenever I'm cruising along under TC, the frame rate starts to hiccup if there's a convoy nearby. I confess, I usually give in. No, no, it's not taking advantage - my kaleun just has a sixth sense....
- And of course my favorite: no rap music (although it's tempting sometimes
).
