Oh... freaking YESSS, Herr Kaleun... I don't use the external camera, however the temptation is strong, usually after I read someone's else report about evading escorts and watching their maneuvers... With the cam it would be easier, but it would be such a fun never more. Or such a horror.

Next step would be to switch map contact updates OFF. The effect would smash you, I suppose, as you would feel like a completely blind man under water - your hydrophone experience would be totally different. But eventually after you learn to use your sonar in a new manner you'd prefer to 'see' with hydrophone rather than with your eyes.

After a smashing end of your boat in this carrer your plan for the next is going to be: to gain any tonnage and to stay alive till the end of this PATROL.

Good luck!

Well of course, but I didn't spend 349857389$ on all this crap you need to play DX9+ games these days so I can just stare at bernards face inside the hull

I know sh3 isn't dx9 but you see the point.

However for realism it definatly matters.

I think the hardest part for me without external camera would be identifying targets by flag. By the time I get close enough to do that usually i'm a gonner.

The way I play now works great considering I have 3 machines setup, and usually finish work stuff on one, surf the web on the other while sh3 is plowing through the seas on the main one. There can be some idle moments even when time compressing
