Returning to base

For me, it depends on how much gas I have left, and what my schedule is like. If I have freetime to kill, I'll read a book while taking the return journey to the sub pen.

also, you sound cooler if you return from a 60 day patrol and not a 6 day patrol.

I like the full circle thing, ending where it began each patrol with some new experiences in between.

Very well said. I will have to remember that one! The closest I came to this sim's experience was a trip up the Thames in Groton Ct to the New London base at night. Tres' cool (18 degrees out in Feb.)

Love to return to port and enjoy the view.

Nothing like the TCx1 return to port after a long patrol. The band, the flowers go good with a beer.

To me, it actually feels good to dock in port. The band is playing, the girls are waving and throwing flowers. It's all fantasy anyway. May as well play the whole part. I fell like I deserved the R&R I've got coming. Visit with the wife and kids, the wife, the wife....

And then, back to sea.

I suppose it's down to each individual and the level of immersion they enjoy.

I've got my main playable installation files tweaked so I can teleport back without any impact on the realism level....saves me a lot of the small period of time I have for playing the game
