SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - If a sim is hard, it is realistic? NO. I hate the sensor programming.

I don't know how deep you were cruising submerged, but it sounds an awful lot like a conning tower broach to me.

I actually don't find the sensors too unrealistic, with the exception of the close range ASDIC.

It would have been nice if they lost track of you within the 200 yard range as in real life, rather than following the boat on a rail until directly over top... but c'est la vie.

But, heres to the frustration we have all felt from spoiled attacks and depth charging.
Any game (simulation) that requires the effort and time that SH3-GWX does is bound to evoke anger and frustration when things don't go smoothly.

I would say we would all do well to recall that in the end, it is just a game, and maddening though it may be; it certainly does not compare to the hardships of those on both sides of the periscope from 1939-1945.
