It's fun to do once in awhile. You're getting plastered in a RFB scenario. It's really getting tedious because stuff just isn't working (happens all the time in real life and Real Fleet Boat). So you exit, load up the Slightly Subnuclear Deck Gun and Slightly Subnuclear Mark 14, go back to where you left off and it's SHOWTIME.
Now mind you, you still have the RFB damage model going. If you surface in the middle of a bunch of capital ships, or even close to a DD and he opens up with machine guns your crew won't live to fire a single shot. Your boat will be riddled and killed pretty instantly, so you have to use some caution here. But I think you can find a way to make your presence known...:hmm:
Then after you either are slaughtered because of excess bravado or massacre the enemy in a blaze of subnuclear glory, exit without saving and reload back into stock RFB. Don't you feel much better now?
