Welcome, have jumped in myself lately and also come from 20 years of flight sim (mostly flying though rather than modding
). Thks for the link, very interesting reading. Wait until you play full realism and DiD, it's in someway like flying war missions : 3 hours of boredom and some minutes of pure terror... But it's for those minutes that we spend many hours scanning an empty horizon or hearing blank silence on the hydrophone. Just for the adrenaline shot when after letting the sim run while you read a book or do anything else, on one more routine hydrophone check you discover the faint Chuk-chuk of a distant big three-blade propeller... Back to battle station, counting the blade rotations to have an idea of the boat speed, calculating with fever your intercept course, then later in the periscope a smoke on the horizon... Checking the speed, bearing, getting in position, manning torpedo room, entering data in the TDC, waiting breathless for the big fat tanker to reach the spot for 0 gyroangle, last check on the flag... and OMFG ! it's a neutral...
