Top few reasons you all love this game?

[fastfed]

After coming back finally, I must say I have been missing out!

I like to take an hour or so a day (I admit its probably more ) to take the load off and play this game.
After the years and playing SH4 and SH5, I have been so deprived, thinking the newest has to be the best, oh I was so wrong.

The few reasons I love this game.

Obviously you get immersed, but the small details that make this game so exciting for me. For one, with SH5, everything seemed so fake, I love how when I say a command (all ahead full, left 5 degrees rudder) it does not happen immediately, just like it would probably be in real life, it takes a few second for the command to actually take place and then a few more for the action to happen.. That right there is huge to me.

Second is the mods, I cannot say enough about these guys! They really should get all the profits that UBI makes, lol, sure SH3 is a good game vanilla, but nothing you could write home about.. These modders made this game absolutely AWESOME! I cannot thank you all enough!

Third, I can finally die, lol, nothing seems more real than heading right into a heavily escorted convoy and knowing there is a slim chance you might make it out alive AND sinking some ships.. I just finished me 5th patrol and into my 6th, its 1943 and I know the DD's have improved with technology and technique.. I decided to go into this convoy head first, getting pinged from about 4 DD's and sitting at 100M until the perfect time to go to Periscope depth.. I finally make it to 12M after doing my best to avoid the Depth Charges, only to find out when I am looking through my scope something is wrong.. I am angled up staring at the sky.. I think to my self, WTF? and realize those depth charges I avoided was a wrong way of thinking.. My aft compartments were flooding fast and causing my ass end to sit deep and my nose stick straight up in the air.. Just enough for the enemy to fire their big guns at.. I quickly crash dive hoping to fix it deep below (I forgot to have my damage team ready) and before I know it I am digging deep into the ocean, thanks to the big gun I am now taking in water in my bow compartment, LOL is what I did, I was able to quickly fix the problems and return to Periscope. I did a great salvo spread towards a small carrier (Balu class or something?) and went back to 100m, only to hear the explosions going off like the 4th of july..

I never got so excited in a game, it gave me goose bumps.
Unfortunately my batteries were so damaged I was barley able to break a knot, this gave them guys shooting practice and I was sunk with all hands.

I don't play dead is dead, so later on I am going to reload my game..

Thanks again modders for making this game what it is today..

BTW quick question.. Using commander (I play GWX3 with commander and a few mods) should I check off the roll back to SH3 setting upon exiting? I just recently checked it, from a post I read here that its a good idea to do this?

THANKS AGAIN!
