My theory about us Sim captains

I think both posits given here have validity. While it true we don't have the level of complexity in actuality, we also don't play in real-time. Many of the tasks, such as navigation, are very complex with all the variables we simply take for granted as done to save time.

Also, in real life you wouldn't have sarcastic hecklers like us questioning your every utterance........maybe you would!

I dont mind its just fun to read the reactions!

I'd be embarrassed to even attempt to compare myself to a real submarine captain....and I'm glad it's just a game.

I dont compare myself to the real thing,its just something i think about and want to share thoughts on,you will never see me wear a T-shirt with " i'm a subsim-captain " and yes its a game i can shut off,pause or replay...

You're not being serious are you?

not really its just an idea..

The only thing funnier than this thread would be someone trying to explain to you the differences in complete detail.

i think someone just did

Funny the paintball theory....but its not nearly the same and Tiger Woods had eye surgery so he doesnt count

I didn't think you were serious, but threads just fun for the reactions often don't go well.

I bet there are more then a couple potentially great WWII subdrivers on this forum.

yea, some of us would be pretty good, (not the 700,000 tons that some of us have gotten in acouple of years.) but good.

In true life I got to be a Torpedoman on a Fleet Boat (USS Segundo SS-398, 1968-70) Me and the Capt. knew how far we were going to go in that Mans Navy. Wish I could have been at the Control Table plotting the course. But at the time I thought it was cool to be in the Torpedo Room, loading and firing...................

No

Besides all reality factors, this simulation is just not complex enough...
