Anyway, as says Kpt. Lehmann everyone plays as he wants but as I still did not understand I continue to ask: why play in 100% and to pass beside so many things ??

Recently I've reloaded my second patrol about 5-8 times as after many gametime days I've made half of my route all the time being sunk by airplanes. It doesn't make sense to start over as it wouldn't change anything at all. Just needed to learn some techniques to survive and now I proceed normally, taking minor damages and crawling forward. If sunk... bye bye especially that I've done my patrol and have a little tonnage. On my way home.
For me fun is to play this game as realistic as I can, fun to look for more realistic ways, read as much as I can about equipment, how it was used, what problems it had, about tactics, about people etc. WW2 was not a "funny thing" so why should I treat it as fun? I want a simulation, a hardcore simulation because that's what sims are for. If I want to get rid of adrenaline I would reach for NFS Carbon (or drive my car) but now at this stage of my SH3 I simply don't need to play anything else. I relaxes me, fears me, makes me bored (I go to sleep while the boat crawls at 1xTC - I love the rumble of Diesels), gives a lot of glory-feel when "gut gemacht" etc.
I love german technique from and after WWII, I'm a kind of guy that uses his PC everyday as a must have tool for everything but I drive an '82 Mercedes cause of my sheer appreciation to the old school, of simple machinery, doing it's job amazingly well comparing to top todays solutions.
This story should be very long and this is not the place, but this is why I play Sh3 that way. Of coarse I started from a simple realism setting to feel the game etc but this is a great thing. You can start playing the game, learn it and than move to more hardcore. I can't imagine someone buying this kind of game and doing first run on 100%, he would throw it away. I want dash anyone for playing not like me, it's your choice, but I will encourage. It freaks me out when I see someone posting as mentioned here, wow what a realistic patrol, at the end I see 250 000 tons......
PS Heibges - I like your approach very much! This is how it works.
Best regards
