Any 'unrealistic' flotillas out there?

Ula Jolly · 11-06-05, 07:28 AM

I'm not exactly a fan of Rub.

I have chores, I'm a student and I have friends, so the lack of external view and near automatic range calculation doesn't really appeal to me. I play DiD (as long as the reason for loss wasn't completely stupid), and 51% difficulty (though the lack of fuel limitation is just so I can wreck about! Will change that within a few patrols, since I normally don't go all that far away.

).
Isn't there any flotilla for the softcore SHIII player?
:hmm:

Sounds like you want to play in McHale's Navy!

werauchimmer · 11-06-05, 09:27 AM

Yeah, pity us, because we have a life.

Really, I am in the same situation: If there is an online Navy that can live with the fact that I am not 24/7 online AND play for fun, IÂ´d be interested to join, too!

So in other words, there is a DEMAND!

I may play at 51%, but I today ventured home with only a single merchant sunk, and that was veeeery lucky.

Hah! I take pride in lack of tonnage, right...

There are currently several online flotillas. Please check this topic for links to them. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums...563#6551021563

I don't know at what realism settings they are currently playing, but maybe you can ask. Good luck.

I still prefer the stock game compared to mods. I think alot of gamers add mods because they think they have to or "EVERYONE" else is doing it so it must be the right thing to do with your game.
Yet i find playing SH3 straight out of the box is the BEST WAY toi play it.

Only mod i have is SH3Commander 2.2 which is beginning to annoy the crap out of me. MY 7th patrol and im still in a DAMN IIA?
But ive been playing online for the last week and have discovered alot of elite players online dont support any mods. These guys play it online continuously, maybe they find mods cause hassles onine, but my game is slightly modded and i was able to join there games.

We should start up a n00bs flottlia

There are a lot of mods I like,however, I stop short of making it so difficult that a game session is about as appealing , as a trip to the dentist office.

Pardon me for asking but, if you keep automatic targetting enabled, what is so difficult?

He probably means that if he was to follow the rules of many flotillas out there, then that would be as appealing as a trip to the dentist office.

By the way, aren't WaW and others considered online flotillas? Well, surely not, as they operate over several flotillas. But aren't they considered online... something?

Erm... there is no forced view or TDC calculation realism settings in RUb. You can play the game at 0% realism if you want. I've always used RUb and I always play with external view enabled so that I can take screenshots when I'm in harbour or cruising at sea.
