Am I cheating

[Gereke]

Yes, you can use Commander without GWX.

It's a great program that adds a lot of nice little utilities for enhancing careers. Be sure to RTFM before taking it for a spin

OK, that answers the question.

By not using a Supermod (GWX, etc etc) you ARE cheating.

Stock is too easy.

And (GWX presents the light "reality"

To me, painstakingly earning promotions, awards, and qualifications is part of what makes the game fun, and is what builds serious attachment to your boat and crew, since it takes days of real-time play to attain them

Okay, okay.

So I have just started a new game, and this time due to immense pressure from this forum () I have set offto see in a basic model with full crew with no medals , experience, loads of fatigue..and worse of all a player who is still on a hard learning curve (basically crap at SH3).

So if I die and all my men die and slip into a watery grave, then I am blaming all you guys ()

My crappy sub is heading off now, on my other PC, those poor guys are shaking in their oil skins........

Davy Jones' locker awaits us...hope you are all happy now.....

The experience will make you a better Kaleun in the long run.

TBH, the experience of your crew and your amount of renown you have, have very little effect on whether you live or die.

Sure, a fully experienced crew makes your job easier, as they do everything better, and faster, but you're still running the boat. It's your decisions that put the boat into the situations that you find yourself.

Run Flank speed at 100m depth with 4 destroyers chasing you? Sure, go ahead, but don't blame the new guy in the crew.

And you can't account for pure dumb luck, like getting run over by a destroyer in a zero visibility storm.

Short of modding the hell out of the boat itself, so it flies, shoots nuclear eels, and makes a mean latte; the game is about your decisions, not the mechanics of the system.
