I agree completely. If you had read my sentence carefully you might have noticed that I said, to use your emphasis:
"100% realism
EXCEPT ... etc."
So, as I said, we're in complete agreement.
Sober: you're right. I remember playing SH3 w/out ext. camera the the experience was amazing. I'm working my way back to that level. Having been away from the whole subsim genre for awhile I'm having to acclimate myself back to such deprivation (I mean, immersion
). I don't have the best system but it's so hard to forgo even the opportunity to see beautiful sights. At this point, the hardest part of not having ext. camera isn't for information gathering, it's just not being able to watch my fish move in for the kill.
Anyway, I finally died for the first time. Guess those Japanese got lucky for once. I had to blow ballast into the middle of th convoy. Those destroyers were able to get me because their merchant marines showed`em how to target. Of course, the reason that happened in the first place was because I was being too cocky. Serves me right.
I'm still perfecting my manual targeting skills. I've actually found that my first shot is right on and then I spread the other shots too far out because I'm insecure about that first shot. So what I end up with is a limping 7000 ton freighter and an alerted convoy!
I think I'm done w/ this campaign, especially since they don't seem to want me to retire. Gonna try using some mods: I need to refresh my JGSME skills...oh the good'ole days (BTW: I bought SH4 a week ago).
Correct me if I'm wrong, is RFB based off of something Beery started? TM has it's draw but because of Beery I think I'll try out RFB first. I've already done some searching and I'm already concerned that I can't find 1.4 versions of many of the major mods. I'll ask around the appropriate forum though if nobody wants to throw a bone here.
Nice talking to folkds....although, I'd swear this can't be my 2nd post. I must've made some comments back on the SH3 forums in the past half decade....
