How many careers have you completed?

frenema · 10-27-07, 08:58 PM

I'm amazed to hear that many people here have completed several careers. I played this game for few months now and I'm still on my first career and the year is 1941 (but ofcourse I have several careers I abadoned before). Do you guys have lot of free time in your hands or what?

I miss one option: "None".
That would be my option, because I never survived long enough to complete a career in SH3.

0, April 41, the longest I have lasted.

BootsmanBoof · 10-28-07, 06:52 AM

I've only had the game a few weeks, but I have never lasted past the 4th patrol so far. I'm playing GWX - and still learning the ropes (obviously).

Ive only played three careers. The first was at a friends house because my computer being a laptop of some years couldnt play it, in that career I got as far as mid 1941 before his missus put a stop to him playing it!! She did what a destroyer couldnt do!! That career was using stock SH3 anyway so wasnt as difficult.

The second career was when I managed to build this computer which is a monster and plays the game perfectly. In this second career I got as far as mid 1940 and then I found GWX on this forum and so I ended that career to start a new one.

The career im on at the moment is my third and my first using GWX and SH3Commander. So far I am in Jan 1940 on my seventh patrol. Also ive only been in the North sea (in this career) although im sure I am destined for the Atlantic as I should get a type VII soon.

Good hunting!

In gameplay, just the one.
In testing, none, we push the risks to the limits to evaluate the outcomes.

I consider "completed" to be
*) war ended
*) SH3 commander ended my career
*) I got killed or became POW
.. that will be around 9 now

If you just meant: survived the war in a uboat from the first to the last day:
it is 0

The only

I would say 10, but most ended in me been sunk/captured.

looney · 10-28-07, 12:30 PM

Due to some unfortunate pc problems I had to abandon several careers.

But I think I ended ... gamewize 4. Meaning I got killed

I started three careers simultaneously, one from each available flotilla. Then new mods came out, especially Rubini's original Harbor Traffic mod, and I scrubbed them and started over. Then the Kiel Canal mod came out, and I scrubbed the new ones and started over. Then more new stuff came out...

Suffice it to say, I've never gotten beyond the middle of 1940, and I've never finished anything.

I know the same exact feeling Steve

....Just wondering if we'll ever see a period of quiet/stability ? :hmm:

I almost got to 1945 in stock SH3. almost!

Currently Im in 1943 in GWX 1.03 and I'm so getting the crap kicked out of me everytime I go out. Its not fair.

Not fair but certainly a lot more fun than out of the box, thick as mud stock, was.

10-28-07, 05:21 PM

Currently I'm playing GWX.. I have bet a bunch of careers and it took alot of work and time out of it! I always like a challenge..so I make it harder each career with the realism and settings and all that. I'm married to my U-boat!
