OTOH, it's not that hard playing 1x and it really gets you to thinking when you pick up a contact and start following it. You pay more attention and think through the problem more than "I'll run a ahead a bit and cap him as he sails by." You pay attention to everything on 1x: weather, convoy routes, bases, planes, etc. I find it very cool and very very nerve wracking.
Someone mentioned it's not realistic to play with the kids while running 1x. Well, yeah. But then again if I do get killed in game I don't take a .38 and spatter my medulla oblongata all over the wallpaper like a grisly Rorschach Test, either. Just for realism.
There was a Kaluen on these forums I believe (I wish I could remember his name so as to credit him) who said something along the lines of "TC is for gamers, 1x is for captains."
And the more I play 1x the more I kind of think he might be right.
I dunno if I'll stick with 1x forever. But I am loving it now. Just me, I guess.

WELCOME TO THE REAL SILENT HUNTER 3
I dont know seems when theres nothin happening and your on/in an area thats dull I find the game relaxing I 'll sit for an hour on watch , than come here type somthin, than watch tv or do whatever -but when in waters not so friendly you really need to be on it 10 times as many aircraft spotted(((may not all attack but WO see's em sound contac 10 fold more which means more action-------lets put it like this you miss too much tc'in -even convoys---NOOBISH-- Watching BLACK DOT SOME LINES AND A SQUARES IN THE MAP ROOM MIGHT AS WELL PLAY PONG--
--to use tc it should be banned from the game
PS just because you play 1x does not mean sitting in front of your pc 24/7 ((allthough I have been latly - sorry to say this wont last
)) so you went ten miles save n quit and pick it back up 2 days later or tc cross an ocean missin ships planes and who knows what else
1x mods last longer also--
I got the watch see ya later u45 --out
