I have to disagree. Yes you normally have a crew running your platform, but I know some divers who love a challenge and appreciate advanced gameplay – sadly they are nowhere to be found these days except for a handful of them.

Also its what you are comfortable with. I.E. autocrew TMA just turns into a boring experience – all the work is done for you. Autocrew TMA also ruins over 70% of dw together. I would rather miss a dive of autocrew and wait for more players on advanced settings then play autocrew.

I guess after you been doing manual TMA for what seems like the beginning of time, or anything else for that matter, you become used to it. And if you think about it, using voice commands you really only need about 2 suites, w/o voice then yes it could be a pain.

Kurushio, are you using voice commands?

O yes I totally agree with that. And when you can get a manual solution within 400 yrds error + at about 20nm on a submerged contact + w/o uuvs + LWAMI + in high contact environment = it makes you appreciate the work put forth behind that much more. But there is more WORK to do my friend..

On the subject of submarines:

1. After localization, will you choose to engage from range - assume a low risk situation while facing greater chance of your target escaping?

2. Optimum firing range of weapons where targets chances of escape are less than firing from range at the cost of an increase of risk?

3. Or will you choose to intercept and try for baffles - reducing your targets chance of escape in the same time placing your boat in a high risk situation.

4. Bios and neuts are off limits

5. Evasion while tracking – well that’s self explanatory.

Again, more work involved – dw is full of work! lol

I guess if I had to choose ONE favorite it would have to be manual TMA.

I think advanced settings will not only make you a better diver, but it will also reveal aspects of the game left out by default(with autocrew on) as well as offer an incredible learning experience.
