How many of you play DiD style?

[Phantom II]

I might try it one day, but with all my careers up to this point I've just loaded saved games after I die.

Always play DiD no matter what the cause of my death.No other way to play for me.Full "realism" all the way.

Resistence is futile..Save game reloads are irrelevant..you will be assimilated into the realism collective.:rotfl:

As much as it sucks, I restart.

Take my sig pic for example. I found a huge convoy that was protected only by a Flower Corvette (or so I thought). After having dispatched the escort, I surfaced and accelerated to flank to catch the convoy. No sooner than I broke the surface I clicked on the bridge icon to find this destroyer bearing down on me. I had just enough time to catch a screenshot of my impending demise.

I'm still on my first career, and I want to sample the war from beginning to end.
Subesequent careers tho', I might consider DiD.

The only thing that's been killing me is friendly minefields and subnets when I leave harbour. So I just reload.


BTW, I only just found the extra maps hidden on the nav screen.


That should solve a few problems.:rotfl:

Sounds similar to the last convoy I encountered. It had a Flower at the helm of the convoy and a pathetic armed trawler taking up the rear. I was considering making a daylight submerged attack on the corvette (wasn't zig zagging) and then within the convoy I noticed a nather large warship imbedded in the left flank moving in a column like a merchant. After getting as close to the convoy as possible I examined my Recog manual I decided that he was too big for me to be able to be all cavalier and sink the weak escorts and just mop up the convoy.

I've never read of escorts doing this, hiding in the midst of a convoy.

Once I buy a new pc that can actually handle SHIII I'm going to pllay a 100% DID GW campaign.

Of course it will be a tough learning school since I consistently got killed almost once per patrol at 79% realism...and sometimes more than once!

Kind regards,

I always play DiD inless I get killed by som stupid time compression issue while sailing in heavy fog. Makes me think twice before I attack a heavily escorted convoy.
