Hi to all after a few months spent in bed ill instead of my sub.
Today I'm purchasing a new copy of SHIII as my previous one went to a friend and stayed there for good. And today evening I'm going to play anew, again with 100% reality settings. The only thing that I'm not planning to do as for now is manual navigation, there will be no other compromises: I plot manually, I play DiD, I never watch my sub from outside (unless in pen or on the surface). Manual plotting was the best thing I've ever experienced playing any computer game, and it rapidly busted my effectiveness at sea. I just can't imagine playing again SHII, where you can see all the surrounding ships in the map view and shooting torpedoes becomes a routine.
The new thing to learn is going to be counting screw rotations as soon as it will be possible in GWX 2.x.
