[Sailor Steve]

I'm not really into video games as such. I play wargames with friends and video sims just so I can pretend I'm doing all the things I'll never get to do in real life. I was in the navy, but I was never the captain, just another swab. I like air combat sims, but I'll never be a fighter pilot.

All this means is that I try to play at a fairly high realism. In SH3 I let the Weapons Officer feed me the details, and I like the external views (especially sailing in and out of port), but I keep it maxed otherwise, because the hunt is fun for me and the terror of trying to escape is what makes it worthwhile. That, and the frustration of not finding reported contacts and finding out the ones I do catch are neutral.

Oh, and I only listen to authentic period music on the record machine. So there!
