It's not "cheating", it's "a little-known game option to realistically simulate the common WWII practice of providing cases of alcohol to refit crews in exchange for preferential torpedo loadout"

Didn't you know that? It's right there in the manual....

Just make sure you provide the cases of alcohol after they're done handling the torpedoes.

You can't cheat in single player. As far as I'm concerned cheating is when your cheating against another person, like online. Cheating has ruined online play. What someone does on their own for their fun is up to them.
We have a dozen mods that make uber subs. It's not a matter of cheating, it's what you enjoy at the moment, arcade of historical.

I dont agree with that. I was not trying to discourage the guy not to use his trick or the renown one he can do what ever he wants.But going in and giving yourself renown is cheating.Anything you do in a game to take advantage without doing it by normal means(renown you get that by sinking ships ect.)so if you add renown in the files but sank no ships then that is cheating. Much like in GTA4 you can use all knids of cheats by calling ceratin numbers on the cell phone there are numbers in the game to get all the weapons for free that is cheating because you did not buy or obtain them fairly.

I dont see why it has to be multi-player for it to be a cheat.I use the GTA4 cheats all the time by the way and do call it cheating. Multi-player cheating truly is dirty rat cheating because it most often makes you un-killable or gives you auto-aim so it is unfair to everyone but you can still cheat single player.

Single player cheating is mainly for fun I agree with that but it is still cheating.It is just fun cheating rather than unfair cheating.
You guys are so sensative of course that is because you are all dirty cheaters.:rotfl:

C'mon Steal.....your reaching. It's a game. I'm simply talking there is a line between cheating others and playing the game your style. You can go in settings and give yourself unlimited fuel, no duds and many unrealistic things. These are in game functions, but we don't call it cheating. Sure, your cheating yourself out of realism, but I would never call a person a cheater that tunes the game to there style of playing in single player.

Just saying we should choose out works carefully and let people play as they prefer....after all...we're all cheaters in this game. In fact most of us are so insensitive to this stuff it never mattered...
