Well...I started another new career and saved the game as it does take some time getting to the mainland you know.....well, upon reloading the game I end up taking major damage....for no reason....I was on the surface out in the middle of the Pacific with the whole ocean to myself....but on reloading I take major bulkhead damage and flooding to boot.....fortunately my crack repair team was up to the task.....then the next big surprise.....I run across a convoy and get myself all positioned for what should be a turkey shoot....and voila....all my realism settings have been changed...I am apparently playing at a hundred percent realism and have no crutches at all.....sorry but I am not up to figuring the aob/ range/ speed solution quite yet....so I manage to get two hits on the convoy before getting the bejeezus blown out of me and my crew......I seem to remember reading a thread about this....has a fix been found for this ????
