absolutely - you should be able to come on and share your successes. i agree completely.

sharing your success by telling the story if how you stalked up on a convoy and sank a tanker and a battleship is wonderful and makes for a good and often educational read. part of the difficulty and fun in SH3 is setting up the attack and then surviving the enemy response.

it doesnt irk me one bit to see those stories every day.

What IS annoying are the rare... and i do mean RARE... reports of a "God's gift to the world type sub skipper" who beats his chest as he recounts the story of how he completeley decimated an entire convoy for 100K tons in a matter of about 5 and a half minutes. with lines like "Escorts? no problem! just wait until they are headed right for you and have the weapons officer plot a quick solution and when they are within 500 meters just shove a torpedo down their throats!" - do this on 100% realism or with manual targeting and you will be sleeping with the fishes - eternally!

just take notice that there is a vast difference between "sharing yoru success" and out right bragging about sinking half the worlds merchant population on GWX2 and touting about how GWX was supposed to be hard (not that penny ever did that... just an example)
