Forced retirement (merged)

perisher · 04-27-07, 07:26 PM

I would like to add one point to this forced retirement thing. Almost all American submarine skippers were professional sailors, rather than wartime reservists. As such, command of a fleet sub was a stepping stone in a career that they all hoped would get them to flag rank. After doing their time in subs they would have wanted to move on.

However this is a game so an option to follow a realistic career pattern, or not, should be offered.

Yes there is a problem with the text of some of the retirement screens, but is it really a big deal?

Now, in the interests of realism, I am off to my simulated (but with real beer) bar of the Royal Hawaiian as I have just returned from patrol.
