How do you do immersion.

[cj95]

Im slowly but surely working through the bugs/technical issues in my first few patrols with SH5.

Graphics/sounds etc etc are all great, but I feel something big is missing in not being able to run SH Commander for crew management and 'flavor'

Even the Captains log is completely sterile in that I cannot inspect individual kills or kill types (unless im mistaken).


I guess my question is, how do you guys improve immersion in your own games? Is there some neat mod im missing (using TWO) or some other trick I may not know about for fleshing out my crew and log reports?

In short...the game looks real.....but how do I make it feel real?

Thanks

really would advised against immersion. water tends to not mix to well with computer electronics.


sorry could help it

I'm asking many times this question myself when I'm playing SH games and the only answear to your question I found is - you can't. Because to feel it right, you'll need a time machine to actually go back in time and experience that time period.

SH is just a game, it's not even a proper simulator. It lacks so many things. If you think about them you sure won't play it long. But it is a nice game, moded ofcourse and it can recreate some aspects of ww2 sub warfare.

So my advises are - install TWOS, mod the game even further, learn manual targeting, use real navigation, watch some videos on youtube about WW2 sub warfare, learn some history , and above all use your imagination...

And perhaps someday the moment will come, when you'll forget that you sit in front of a flat screen. Then you'll know that you catch a glimpse of how a german ww2 submarine commander felt back in those hard times...

I guess I meant....how to feel immersion like in SH3.


There I felt part of the war....not so much now....except for that spectacular water.
