Suck at first???

I have been playing sub sims for a long time and I still suck.

But I am having fun and that's what it is all about

Haha yeah, I'm just now reaching my first patrol zone. Can anyone tell me what a green ship is on the map? Blue is allied and red is enemy, green = neutral?

Bingo.

It will cost you renown, and as KL-Alfman noted will also begin a 24-hour state of war between you and that ship's nation of origin. Meaning any other forces you encounter from that nation will attack you without warning or additional provocation.

This.

I remember sucking on 688 Attack Sub, Silent Service, etc.
But with all the 3D and control enhancements that make modern sims more lifelike, I suck less now. You gotta admit, even if you knew what you were doing, those old games cheated you really hardcore and that was the 'difficulty'.

I refuse to Suck!

But I still get my behind handed to me in a very
predictable way everytime I play.


I have a major problem with Crash diveing in shallow waters.

I still have fond memories of my very first patrol, when I ran into something interesting.

According to the map it was Denmark.

My first memory of SH3, was before any supermods.

It was daylight, no clouds, no rain, glassy calm seas, I was in a type 7, creeping along at 1/3d speed (i don't think i had any notion of specific knot speeds yet), silent running, i had 14 to 20 meters of water underneath my keel, and i was trying to sneak into scapa flow, through the front, since there was no other way in.

And then, as i peered through my periscope, i noticed this destroyer Waaaay off. I thought, "hes so far away, i should get by him no problem", ill just be reaaaalllly quiet.

Umm,, no, he made a beeline for me, at which point i remember saying, "WTF! OMG No freaking way!!" After he pounded me into the sea floor, i exited the game thoroughly pissed off, cursing, "BS! That was complete utter BS!" as i turned off my computer and stomped off.

A couple days later, i was back at it again.

[Jankowski]

twas a good day for me that a GIGANTIC american ship did not sink to the bottom of the harbour after about 4 torpedos. it was 1940.

[Brer Rabbit]

I don't suck --Bernard does, and unfortunately he is a high ranking member of my crew.
