A sanity question

jreid666 · 08-31-12, 09:39 AM

Hi folks,

I was out today and happened to go walking past the local harbour, when looking at some of the bigger boats, i started deciding where i could hit them with my eels. Is this normal?!?!? Has anyone else had this strange feeling? I also saw a large cargo in the bay and had it all worked out how i would approach and send her to the bottom. I'm getting scared with this!!!!!!!

Yes indeed. People have been posting for years about figuring angle-on-the-bow for trucks on the freeway.

When crossing my target's track on the road, I don't do the sprint ahead thing though. Not enough savegames in RL.

It's a known phenomena this SH3 getting into real life thing but what we don't know so well, are the consequences. What is the next stage? At least for some people like myself the symptoms include hanging out in Subsim, but sometimes I wonder what else will happen...

You know you have it bad when you redesign you room to look like the interior of a submarine. There was a thread a long time ago of a guy who did just that.

Shouting Allllarrrrrmmmm!!! Fluten, every time you ear a plane or a old phone ring...

I live in a coastal town, so every time I see the cargo ships entering, passing and leaving the port I'm always trying to determine the AOB and speed of those ships...

i think the next stage will be to hire a new builder and redesign my house in to a type IX C............

Easy...Wait for a hold up and hit them hard, well in the case of the M25 here in the UK known as the country's biggest car park.

Funny, I recall reading the same kind of thread back in 2008, before my 4-year absence. Things haven't changed after all

Well I often lie on my bed near my machine after going to "my bunk" and read a book with my earphones on to listen in to reports.

The Captain's bunk is ingrained in my mind and so when I switch my machine off and go to bed, I give a dive order, set speed to 2 knots, order a normal hydrophone sweep. Instruct the radio operator to play some tunes for the crew and off to the land of nod I go whilst planning evasion techniques.

I remember a certain KL doing just that with a cargo ship when we visited the USS Texas

Yeah, it happens, even at the most inconvenient times.

i think the worst it has gotten for me so far is actually wanting to find the BPs for a type XID2 or XXI, VIIC at the least and actually finding somebody to build it so i can live in a submarine.
only problem is the darn coast guard might think i am smuggling drugs

but seriously if i had the money i would do it
