Presume dead, start a complete new career, maybe few month later or earlier.

Geez in 39 it's so easy now, I feel invincible...

Playing on 80% with the stock version, only mapupdates and externel view enabled and play DID....

I use external views (to gaze with wonderment at my boat's Fubar skin), no manual targeting (the exec takes care of that) and 67% realism. I can usually survive three or four patrols before I hit Davey Jones' locker. Am about to up the ante though, and increase the realism a notch or two. Life aboard a Uboat must have been rough. I respect veterans of all countries.

80% Realism ( I leave w.officer assistance just for recon ships, plus noise meter and no contact map update).

Gezoes · 08-10-07, 09:40 AM

I sail with map updates on, event en external camera on. That's it. The rest is all checked.

I tried without the external camera. It gave a lot of immersion, but strangely enough, I got bored.

Turned it back on and my gaming urge is back. I use it less often now though. Guess that's a good thing.

Damn, I've turned my ext cam off today, how freakin immersive!!! Rarely I was tempted to see what's going on but now it turns out that it gave a good idea of things up there. Now it's the real deal!!

Turned on weapon officer assistance not to loose my eyes trying to figure out what is this and get some help. Works nice if you use is reasonably.

Playing without external camera is more inmersive for me. It´s true that you lose the awesome images of convoys, your own boat, your torpedoes exploding (or missing

) and so many things, but I get myself more involved in my role when after launching you down periscope, dive and look ay the chronometer... waiting for "Torpedotreffer!"... and later you can be chased for an hour or two by the escorts and you can look only at the hydrophone and your chief directing speed and manouver.

ichso · 08-10-07, 12:12 PM

That's why I don't use the external view when enemy ships are nearby.
It's a real relief if you see the daylight again after hours of DC evasion (and perhaps after several gaming sessions too

).

It's a matter of self diciplin not to look where this torpedo went which should have made impact 20 seconds ago. But I wouldn't give up those beautiful external views when sailing lonly the wideness of the Atlantic

Realistic.

100%, No TC, dont shave or shover for months, etc.

And if I loose, I drown myself in the bath tub.

Torvald Von Mansee · 08-16-07, 02:24 PM

84% - got external view and weapon officer assistance, though I don't really NEED the latter. External view is just plain fun!!!

08-16-07, 03:06 PM

wow I can't believe it, this thread is still alive, most threads here die after one day and visit Valhalla for ever

hardcore restrictions to using F12 key + weapons officer enabled kicks ass, try going that way, it's very pleasing for realism fans!

frenema · 08-18-07, 12:24 PM

100% - with or without external view depending on my mood.

Reinhard Hardegen · 08-29-07, 10:05 AM

I do play it at the hard level, and lately, at real time. Just to get that feel for what it must have been like, from the times of sheer boredom to the crash dives and dc attacks.

And its an added plus to go to sleep to the hum of the engines, but when the crew yells ALARM!!! you wake up in a hurry.

Or you're sitting there watching a baseball game, when you hear it. Especially during the overhaul phase of the operation.
