SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - What level of realism do you regularly play?

I run at 60% - sounds low, but I just have auto targetting, map updates, stabilised view and external view turned on. The latter is to increase the "fun" aspect, like viewing attacking planes to see how your flack gunner is performing. I think there's a tradeoff between realism and what you're very unrealistically forced to do, like swapping fatigued crew around the boat, which in RL officers and WOs would handle. Also tracking distant (and sometimes not-so-distant) sonar contacts because your sonar man has very strict limitations on what he'll report.

I work hard at sonar tracking, and sinking targets with the deck gun - I expect a bit of slack in other areas of skill and responsibility to balance the whole.
