At the beginning of my SH3 playin, i played the game like every other game.
Meaning; if i got DC'ed to death i did reload. If i missed some Shots at a Tanker or such i did reload too.
And i warped to port everytime!
I was thinking how cool i am as a Kaleun. Ya know, high tonnage, and 15 and more patrols. However...
But later i understood that it isn't that easy, and i started to play this as a Sim, in the real way.
Today...well I rarely last more than 2 years into the war! Doin' the 'DID variant is more taxing but also more rewarding!
I remember a 3 hour real time pounding and my boot got beaten up real bad! That was when i was close to despair, I never thought I'm gonna make it, but imagine the joy when i survived and surfaced later!
Way back i wouldn't bother! I would just reload! I would even reload only because of an DC that got lucky and got me realy good!
Playing it the hard way? No...Simmin' it the real way!
